Well I really did it this time! I did something really stupid, something I knew better than to do, but in a momentary lapse of judgement, for I ca not for the life of me figure out why else I would do such a STUPID thing, I stuck my hand in a wood splitter to remove a log, or so I thought, and got it crushed. OUCH!!!!!!!! Puts it mildly!! It happened almost a week ago, and I have 3 broken bones in my right hand. It could have been far worse than it is. I could have had my entire hand crushed or worse yet hand it choped off. The index finger has the worst of the breaks with several fragments in the bone above the palm. The middle finger has a crack across the bone in the palm, and the bone in the palm under the index finger has to cracks in it. One across, and one goes toward the finger.<br /><br />
So needless to say, I won't be doing any sewing, or very little if I can even figure out how to hoop something to begin with. Looks like it could take a good 6 weeks or more to heal. I saw an Orthopedic Specialist Tuesday and he said we are going toet it heal, as everything is lined up really nice right now. I go back this coming Tuesday to get the stitches out and have an x-ray to see how well its healed in the 10 days previous.<br /><br />

As you rightly say you could have lost your hand and then how would you manage to do Embroidery work and hoop the fabric. Take care and just remember to move those fingers.
