Auuuugggghhhhh....MISSING FINGER TIP!!!!

Okay so its actually not the whole finger tip, but somewhere between a dowel rod (see picture) and a piece of cabinetry is Mat's finger tip. He had this nice hole in his finger tip. Poor guy. It happened on Thursday while he was working and we've been doing follow up hospital visits all day today. The dowel rod went straight through his finger and into the hole in the cabinet with the glue and PINNED his finger to the cabinet piece. He had a MINOR surgical procedure to to push the bone down cause it wasn't lying flat and used a tiny stitch to minimize the exposure of the bone. They can't really close up what's not there anymore so his skin just has to grow back. I'd post a picture but I haven't gotten it yet, Phil has it. Anyhow, just posting about my poor baby.

THIS IS WHAT WENT THROUGH THE TOP OF HIS FINGER AND OUT THE OTHER END. THANK GOD IT WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE MUSCLE, NERVES AND TENDONS!! I'll have to post a picture of the cabinet part--he did keep that!


Well I'm off to dinner with my sisters--Olive Garden!!
