OOWWEEE

In August Jake cut his hand really bad! He was at home doing yard work with the kids, he was cutting a board with a Skill Saw and he cut his hand.  I was at the store and so he drove himself to the ER-I know nice huh?? Good thing the ER is like a minute away-not that I would recommend Payson ER to anyone!! Anyway we got to the ER they took a look at it and paged a surgeon-who called back 2 hours later and did not want to come in on a Saturday afternoon. He told the DR. to stitch it up and send us on our way- so they did.  But he needed surgery! Nice?? So we went to a specialist and a week later they cut the stitches back open and did surgery.  He cut the main sensory nerve to his thumb and index finger. If we didn't fix it his thumb and index finger would be numb the rest of his life. He had also cut an artery and would have lack of blood to his hand. It was a quick surgery took about 2 hours but it was also very painful! Jake has NEVER had surgery before so it was kinda funny the way he was acting. He took 2 weeks off and then went back to work.  I tried to get him to take more but if you know Jake-he goes CRAZY sitting at home!

I am so glad that it wasn't to bad-really could have been worse! But I think next time we will drive to Provo hospital because we would have gotten better service and would have had surgery that day! This also really scared the kids-they were really concerned about Jake. I'm glad this is behind us and Jake is feeling better!
