Today, started working with (to lend a hand) the guy missing the tip of his finger. Today's theme? Each time I'd hear him holler OUCH !!!!, I'd reply with: "I missed it, do it again!" The doc gave him a hoop to wear to protect the tip from bumps... but, he hasn't been able to get it on to wear (must be some additional swelling). So, he's just got it well padded with bandage material and curlex. But, not padded enough. LOL He was telling me today, that he'd nearly decided to quit carpentry. He's been doing it for 30yrs., and was so disgusted with himself for the mishap, he nearly quit doing it.
