Hitchhiker's Thumb

Sooooo.... I shut my thumb in my neighbor's screen door.

Ouch!

Yep, I had my hand in the door frame of the front door and the wind caught the door and WHAM! the tip of my thumb got peeled right back! It hurt like... like... like the tip of my thumb got peeled back. *sigh*

One trip to St. Joseph Mercy's emergency room later and the following happened:

1. Got to read yesterday's front page of the Oakland Press.
2. Met up with Kyle Cameron, a friend of ours (he stood up in our wedding) that we haven't seen in 12 years. He is now working at St. Joseph's as a Medical Technician.
3. Got a tetanus shot. *frowns*
4. Soaked my thumb in Betadine *frowns more because of the stinging feeling*
5. Got thumb bandaged.
6. Won sympathy from my 18, 8, 7 and 4 year old kids.
7. Took two tylenol to ease the throbbing in my thumb.
8. Looks forward to the throbbing in my arm (where I got the tetanus shot) in the morning.

Guess I won't be doing any hardcore gardening for a while.

Moral of the Story: Keep your thumb out of places it doesn't belong.
