I love that show!

Sorry to hear about the trouble. I have had many incidents, only in the kitchen. I tend to do the stupidist things with a knife in the kitchen.

Gee, I've never ever done anything like that

Hope it wasn't your shifting hand.

I did something equally as brilliant during a snowstorm in 1991. I reached down the chute of my snowblower while it was running, not realizing that on a Toro (and maybe others) the impeller keeps moving. Needless to say, I lost my glove tips along with breaking two fingers and cutting the crap out of one of them. Today they all function, but some loss of feeling in one. The Dr. who sewed me up was understanding, as he had done the same thing himself a few years before! Hope you heal quickly!

I did the same thing with the ball, just didn't drill my hand. Hope your hand heals soon.

Sorry about the mishap. Always be carful when working with power tools. Thats a lot of potential energy that could go in the wrong place. Hope you're okay.

Well instead of the normal, get well. I'll wish you a "heal fast". Take care. Thanks for having a good sense of humor about it.
