spent the day in the emergency room of NYU I was carrying a 10 gal tank up my stairs missed a step and fell. I wound up cutting my right hand pretty bad!

went to local ER up here and they referred me to NYU seems I knicked the tenden on my pinky I mamaged to cut across my knuckles, and below my thumb on palm side. :banghead:

hand surgeon on call thinks I'll be OK but I have to see a hand specialist this week.

25 stiches, and a cast on my right hand.
looks like the 450 and all thhe other stuff I was doing will be put off another month

Frank sorry to hear that. I know when I hurt my hand it took some time, and it still isn't all the way back, for the tenden on my pinky and ring finger to work correctly. You would be surprised at how important the pinky finger is on your hand, it really controls the power in your hand. So if you cut the tenden I would count on being out for awhile longer then you think.

sorry to hear that Frank, it's so frustrating when that happens.

the 450 will happen, just not as soon as you wanted now.
if you want to try being a director we could get a team together and
you could tell everyone what to do :)

That sucks Frank..

You can use this opportunity to practice your macro photograph. Your index finger can do most of the work with the help of a sturdy tripod in the next few weeks.

Hmmmmmmm. hope your not a righty. Good luck on your recovery.

LOL Actually they become 1 1/2 injuries if you add them together!!! Again Just kidding! But I do hope you do feel better and don't worry about the tank setup quite yet because you getting better is the most important thing. Hope the results come back good too from the specialists.

Full pay if injured in line of duty during a federal "event", remember that!! City picks up 3/4 and feds pick up 1/4.

Frank, just got wind of this. Very sorry to hear about that. Your wife must have been a basket case with worry. You know where I'm located, if there's anything you need (that doesn't require lifting, you know my situation too) let me know. I can be there in a half an hour.
