My mom has been in the hospital for the last couple of days ( gall bladder removal), and I have been taking care of her. I brought mom home today- she is doing much better! Woohoo! However... I couldn't stand that she was getting all of the attention, though, and I spent part of the morning in the ER! The glass part of the blender toppled over while I was making smoothies for the kids this morning... as I grabbed for the glass part, my thumb hit the blades while they were running- yeowtch! When I went to take Mom home from the hospital today- she insisted that I go downstairs to the ER to get it taken care of- now I have three stitches and a sore arm (that tetanus shot hurts!) Beware of blenders!!!

EEEeeeeyowch!!! Be more careful, dang it!!! Hope you get over that soon!

wishing you a speedy recovery, Springie!!

Yikes Springie! Remember, there IS such a thing as bad attention!

So sorry to hear about your accident Springie, it sounds like it was very painful. I hope you recover quickly. As I was looking at the picture, I was thinking, you are all set for hitch hiking to work next week.

LOL! I'll just try to flag down the God Phoenix! Yoohooo! Ken...Joe...I need a ride!

Well at least it was only three stitches. Hope it feels better soon.

I guess Mom does know best! Hugs to you and your mom - hope you both feel better ASAP.

Ouch, Springie! All I can say is at least they bandaged it in Eagle Blue for you! I hope you both heal fast and feel better soon.

Yikes! I suspect hitching on the God Phoenix would work, since you're flashing Eagle blue! Take more care, would you? We need your hands in good shape to produce all of that fabulous art! Plus, your family needs you. And I hate that you were hurt.

Of course, what she was really doing was playing round with a certain boomerang..... But is a nasty ouchie - I'm glad it was only 3 stitches and you are feeling better! Now - repeat after me: "I must not play with the spinning bladey thingies"

Ouch! I hope that wasn't your drawing hand. Heal fast and be better soon!

How are you feeling this morning, Springie?

I'm better, thanks! But that tetanus shot is sore!!! K2, it wasn't my drawing hand- LOL! Maddy... "I must not play with the spinning bladey thingies" "I must not play with the spinning bladey thingies" "I must not play with the spinning bladey thingies" "I must not play with the spinning bladey thingies" "I must not play with the spinning bladey thingies" "I must not play with the spinning bladey thingies" ... I guess I wouldn't make a very good ninja!

Oh, I don't know -- you could belong to the Special Order of Clumsy Ninjas. There aren't many of those in the world!

Or you could belong to the Order of Ninja who use blunt objects instead .... sticks, staffs, bats, yo-yos ... bullets.

Goodness, Springie! Get well soon!

Hope your thumb heals up quick! Hmm ... a ninja pillow fight ... now that would be interesting to see ... feathers flying everywhere ... guessing which feathers are just feathers and which are shuriken ...

I'm sorry to hear you cut yourself, Springie. If your Mom hadn't insisted you get it looked at, you wouldn't have? Glad to hear she's doing well.

I'm a bit stubborn when it comes to medical stuff...I had it bandaged up with some Neosporin, and I thought I might just let it heal by itself. Mom was nagging me the minute she saw it...and a nurse convined me that it might still get infected and that I needed a Tetanus shot...so I reluctantly walked downstairs to the ER... (glad I did, though- it would've been a nasty scar).
