I am typing this a quick as I can before the numbing shot wears off but it is difficult to type with 9 fingers. We decided to tackle the bushes before dinner and as always I had trouble reaching the top of the 9 ft tall bushes on the side of the house. So standing on my tippy toes with the hedge trimmers over my head....sounds like an accident waiting to happen. They came tumbling down and silly me tried to catch them with my free left hand. I ended up cutting a large gash in the tip of my middle finger. I don't do blood well so I was freaking out all the way to Redimed. Then very bravely (as not to embarrass myself in front of strangers) took my tetanus shot and 2 numbing shots and 2 gnarly looking stitches in the finger. I wasn't reassured however when the doctor said that there is still a paper cut size opening that she was going to leave to see how it heals on its own! Pictures to follow!
