Todd's Perils Continue

PICTURES Below:
For those of you have not heard: Todd had ANOTHER tree accident.
Yes, I know what you're thinking-You go right ahead and tell him!:)

He was helping his Dad hang a tree stand and as he was climbing down
his wedding ring got caught on one of the foot pegs.
He dangled by his wedding ring, until the ring just ripped off-taking skin with it.
After a visit to Urgent Care, no broken bones, 7 stitches, and a painful injury,
Todd is layed off of work for the season (early)!
For those of you who have husbands who hunt or like being outdoors--Don't
let them go out with their wedding ring on. Todd is very fortunate he did not
lose his finger. The Dr. last night was shocked that his finger was still attached.
He also said he could not tell us how many injuries like this he has seen.
He had even been injured in a similar fashion and no longer wears his wedding ring
at all because of it.
Pictures below are kinda graphic.











Top left picture: side view of his finger
2nd picture from left : Dr. working on Todd's hand -digging gravel and sand from wound.
3rd from left: top flap of skin was cut off and bottom of finger is raw tissue. (sewn back together 7+ stitches). Last picture: on the way to Urgent care-wrapped in towel.
Pictures are out of order.
My stomach is queezy...

No Computer!

Our laptop crashed so sorry for the lack of posting. Life is still it's busy self. At times it seems relentless, but we make it through. Who knows when the computer will be up and running-someday I will tell the frustration.
Hope all is well.
