    Topping off a sucky day!!

    Shift is almost over. I was in the middle of repairing a welding machine. Down comes a 60 lb spool of wire landing edge down on my forefinger. I'm typing with my pinky now. I'm in charge so I can't leave to see doctor. Not worth calling backup out of bed if its broken. Not much you can do for a finger. May go after I lock up. Didn't even know some of the words I said as it landed! *@#

    I didn't know a spool of wire could hurt so bad. Or a finger swell so much!:eek:

    Maybe tomorrow will be a better day!!

    Yeah it's already reported. At least I found out it's not broken. I would have sworn it was. I thought I had a high pain tolerance till that. At least my crew got to see me dance and learn some new words to use.:eek:

    Glad to hear it wasn't broken. I hope it feels better soon! Fingers and toes are always taken for granted until they get seriously hurt...then we get relentlessly reminded how important each and every one really is! LOL


    Feel better soon!
