Re: [NickDG] ApexKaren, Not a Ten Anymore . . .
Nick, you are too sweet! I'm finally online for the first time and was quite anxious to see this thread...Anne had told me about it but I was at home with lousy internet connection plus missing a piece of a finger...not very agreeable to getting online...
Yes, the damn dog took the tip of my right middle finger clean off...well, the surgeon said there was a lot of damage so I guess it wasn't so clean. Infection was a huge issue so I sat in hospital for 3 days 2 nights on iv antibiotics and morphine...hooray for morphine.
I was trying to break up a dog fight and the chow decided to show me his prowess...he could have taken my hole finger or mangled my hand but instead he just took the tippy tip. Lucky for me one of my best friends is an RN with a cellphone and was able to take my call to get me and my parts calmly to the e.r. "Buddy" will be euthanised (sp) this week. I wanted his right ear but then thought that would be too gruesome. I guess having the tip in formaldehyde in a jar is gross enough.
I'm off work for 2-3 weeks while I heal and adjust, and am feeling much better now than I did a week ago. Thank you all for you love and support. I can't tell you how much it6 helps knowing you all were thinking of me and sending me strength. I'll be asking for a 10% discount on my next manicure and if you have problems getting massage from an amputee then I'll offer you a 10% discount. I guess that's only fair.
More later, this took way too long to write! Thanks Nick, and F*ch them, we'll form our own pieces of 8!
BASE pieces of 8! We need six more, any one missing any parts???
xo Love you all
Karen
