Had to edit this...I was so excited about "the plan" I forgot to say I'm sorry for your injury.

The funniest part was the nurse asked me Do you live in a safe home environment?" I looked at her and replied "Clearly not." So $800 later I was sent home to heal. As was noted: That could buy a lot of fabric and equipment. Stay safe everyone, it only takes a moment of inattention.

My DH was a meatcutter for years and was always cutting his fingers. The best treatment for sliced fingers he ever got was from an ER Doc that told him to soak it in soapy (dish soap) hot water for as long as he could stand to keep his hand in the water. We had to keep changing the water to keep it hot and he kept it in there for several hours. Took out all the soreness and it healed very quickly. That particular time he had sliced the end off one of his fingers with a lunchmeat slicer.
