Finger Update

It has been two weeks since I nearly sliced off the tip of my finger. I am finished going to the Occupational Therapy Store where they have been monitoring it on behalf of State Labor and Industries.

I guess I haven't documented the event here which is a giant blunder on my part.

I was cutting some vinyl for an eight inch vehicle strip using our rotary cutter. It looks like a pizza cutter. As I moved down the length of the straight edge, I placed my hand so that my left middle finger was just over the edge of the ruler. I drove the rotary cutter right into my finger and sliced just the tip of my finger along with the corner of my finger nail.

It was not that painful but I could not stop the bleeding. And it bled a lot.

So I notified the bosses and Scott drove me over to the Urgent Care place located here in Liberty Lake.

I was there for about two hours, most of which time was spent filling out paperwork and they got me fixed up.

I've had three visits to the Therapy Store and they have discharged me saying the healing is on track as expected.

I have been wearing a finger tip bandage over the wound but they come off so easily. it's still a little tender but as of today, it doesn't hurt to type.
