Today started out with a great red hat lunch but went down hill after that! After I arrived home from lunch, I started putting all the items back into the newly renovated kitchen. Dave headed out on the front patio to cut up the large box that held the new sink. Within a few minutes he hollered for me and I flew out to door to be met by him clasping his finger and telling me he may have cut it off. Because he had such a tight hold on it, he wasn’t sure how bad it was. We both went into over gear – I wrapped it tightly in a decorative tea towel and we headed for the emergency which is basically around the corner from our place.
Luckily he only had a deep cut across his left index finger which required 5 stitches and a tetanus shot. So $1002.19 (US) later we headed home. It is amazing how you can feel lucky when you think about how much worse this could have been. He did finish cutting up the box but I was sure that he was more than careful when doing so.
