Surgery on the canal-5:30 a.m. yesterday

Got a hook in my thumb and the emergency room didn't even have a cutter that would go through a VMC. Had to call a friend to bring a set of cutters!

That is funny. The last time I went to the emergency room to have a hook taken out, the doctor pulled out these 24" bolt cutters. After he numbed me up and pushed it through I had to hold it in place so he could cut it. It was a little overkill I think.

The first hook in my finger had to be cut out of me. It was hitting bone when they tried to push it through. Three stitches in your fingertip really sucks.

Manleys definitely. They cut a 3/0 treble that went in, and I pushed out, of my finger. It hurt very little due to the adrenaline rush at the time. It hurt afterward, when I got home and put antibiotic cream on it. I got a tetnus shot the next day.

Glad to hear that it worked out OK. No pun intended
