I got a call about 12:30 this afternoon from Brian....he told me to meet him at the local insta care because he had pulled a nail out of his hand minutes before. It was a 16" penny nail, the gun misfired and went into his hand just below his left index finger. He is pretty sure that it hit the bone and deflected into the tendons and muscles in his palm. Out of instant reflex he pulled it out and had his employee drive him to the insta care. We are soooooo blessed because had there been more force with the gun or it had been closer to his hand it could have shattered the bone rather than just been deflected. We are so grateful for the minimal damage not something more. He has been in a lot of pain due to where the nail hit his muscles and tendons but not to worry the doctor gave him some drugs to help with the pain. Brian is loving his loritabs and getting over anxious just sitting on the couch but he will be back to work tomorrow.

Holy smokes Brian--what an eventful day! Mike says that you now have a hole in your hand to match the one in your head! He is kidding, of course! We hope you feel better quickly.
WOW!! We are so glad that he is going ot be okay. I hate those kind of calls. You may not want to have him back to work until he is of the Lortab. :}
That is a good one, Brian. We're glad your OK...but it did make me smile!
