"Hey Jess, it's me. I am going to swing by the hospital- I am probably going to need a few stitches. Cut my finger at work. Totally fine. Love you, I'll call you later..."
My first reaction was to get all worried. But then, I thought to myself, I am not going to freak out about this. Just a few stitches, not a big deal. He said it wasn't a big deal. He would tell me if I needed to be worried.
So what did I do? I finished my book. I folded some laundry. I started to get ready to go to work. Finally he answers his phone. I learn that he didn't just cut one finger, he cut three. OH and he had cut through his tendons. He still protested that I didn't need to come. But when I got to the hospital this is what I saw.
Lets just say no matter what he says the next time he gets hurt.... I am going to freak out anyway. Ended up with 12 stitches in all. Lucky for us he took his wedding ring off right away or the doctor would have had to cut it off! Look at how swollen those fingers are!
Don't worry the swelling went down and he is all splinted up. But this is going to be one long recovery! Complete with help from a plastic surgeon and lots of hand rehab.....
Not a lot of use out of that hand right now. Don't worry Park, I've been there. Remember this?

We should probably try to be more careful.
The worst part of all of this? We had one awesome Laser Tag birthday party planned for Parker next week... Wish me luck for a last minute birthday re-plan.
