How do you feel about ppl you see that have lost a finger - hand - arm - ect ... through a accident or from child birth ? Do you know any one IRL that is ?
I have always treaded everyone as a equal , regardless of how they may look - age ... Now I have joined the ranks of having lost a part of myself forever ...
I was helping some friends out awhile back cause a tornado blew their barn down . Thank goodness they were out on a trail ride with their horse's or they would have lost them as well . A bunch of us got together to help rebuild their barn . I was on the roof when it happened . Two friend of mine were on the ground raising & slide these 30 foot sheet's of corrugated metal up . They shoved a little to hard just as I was grabbing the metal & it started sliding in my hands . When corrugated metal slide's in your hands it can cut just like a razor & that is what happened to me it cut my left hand really bad . I did loss about a 1/2 inch of the tip of my index finger & it cut the nerve's in my hand . Well I have had 4 surgeries up to now to get the nerve's put back together . Which they did get them rite this time , hopefully . But the 1/2 inch of my index finger is gone . :( Strange how it still feels like it is there . Now all I have to do now is let it heal then therapy well begin so I can get total use's of my hand back . The Doctor : said it well take about year if everything goes according to plan . /:) Never knew that wiggling my fingers (even with the pain) on my left hand would bring a smile to my face . \:D/
My, how we take things like that for granted .
