Listen "Smashed finger took my mind off leikemia"
Episode Synopsis
I just came up with the perfect distraction to take my mind off leukemia. Although I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else.Last week I was trying to unhook a utility trailer from my car. As soon as the trailer left the car's hitch it rolled forward and, like the idiot I am, I tried to stop it.The next thing I knew the tongue of the trailer fell, crushing the little finger of my left hand.My wife rushed me to the emergency hospital and they sewed me up, but they said I had to see a hand surgeon as soon as possible because it was a crush injury with a severed tendon and broken bone.Yesterday, the hand surgeon operated on my finger, trying as best he could to reconnect the tendon and repair the bone. He even had to remove some dead skin. Yuck.Needless to say, it's going to take quite a long time to heal before I can do much with that hand. If you want to get really grossed out you can see photos of my injury on my blog at meandleuk.com.Tomorrow our band is getting together to practice. So I’m gonna be a one-handed drummer. That’ll be a new thing.Yeah, so I guess that's one way to take my mind off Leuk, but I hope you come up with a less painful solution!
