Never a Dull Moment!

Not even on vacation do we get a break from medical bills!! Devin bought a new pocket knife at Blackwater Falls on Monday. On Tuesday he was playing with it on the bed in his hand and it snapped open unexpectedly - slicing his pinky finger on his left hand wide open at the knuckle. We knew when we saw a pearly white tendon that it needed stitched!

The problem - where was the nearest emergency room or urgent care!!!??? Took us about 20 minutes to figure out where to go - in the meantime he fainted FOUR times!! We had to drive 45 minutes to Tucker Community Emergency Clinic (smaller than an urgent care, but very equipped). They were very nice and took him right back.

Four stitches later - we were set to go. He still gets to go rafting Thursday afternoon - with a splinted finger wrapped securely in plastic! He's not letting a stitched up finger stop him he said!
