    Default My Dumb Move

    Was helping get the stuff around a door that had been increased in size.
    Not sure how the dremel tool got away from me, had it both hands.
    Now have four stitches just above the wrist on the thumb of my right hand.
    Ten days before the stitches should come out and before I should get pond water on it.
    NO loss of motion in any of my fingers or the right hand.

    OK, here is the real story. You were fishing and a huge fish grabbed your fly and took off for the next county. The fishing line was singing off the reel and you tried to apply more drag when the line cut into your skin. Now doesn't that make a better campfire story? Heal well, be glad you didn't get a nerve or tendon.

    Ouch. Glad there is no loss of use. Follow the doctor's orders, keep your hand out of pond water, and soon you will be back making trouble for all the local bluegills and crappie.

    Power tools have no conscience, they will turn and bite the one that loves them. Glad the injury was not more serious.
