Warning: Not for the faint of heart...

This morning I had a mishap while water skiing. My finger got in the way of the rope and the rope won! I've never in my life broken a bone but had no doubt that that was what had happened here. My index finger was pointing at my middle finger...a very freaky sensation. After a fabulous trip to the ER where Casey listed my injury on the sign in sheet as "VERY broken finger", I got an x-ray that confirmed it was broken in 2 places. There were no orthopedic hand specialists on-call on a Sunday so I have to deal with the pain until Monday morning....OUCH! So much for this mother-of-three and water skiing.


Please pray for me as I will probably have to have a pin put in it and spend the next 2 months in a splint.




I've posted a picture below but I'm warning you---it's gross.
