bad day for hands
yesterday was not a good day for hands. i started it off by whacking my right hand right at the higtest point of the knuckle on a metal railing while i was loading things in the dark. it started swelling up around noon, so i sat with some ice on it for a while and it went down. it's still a little swollen now. but that was forgotten when B called from the shop to say E had to take T to the emergency room. we weren't sure if he had cut himself or had fallen off the loading dock. B couldn't tell us anything. and E and T ran off in the van because both of them had biked to work. so from about 4:30 on, it was like a tangle of trying to figure out 1) what happpened to T (turned out he was trying to clean up the edge of a length of board on the table saw and the waste wood kicked back and that's what cut 3/4 of the way through his finger tip) 2) how to get everything else at the shop to the theatre because SM was worried about not having everything in the building. i finally was let out around 8:30 only to have to wait another 20 minutes in the parking garage as they tried to find the key to the car that parked me in. it sounds like T is ok. he was let out of the hospital around 8 and they could sew everything back together. sometimes they can't save fingertips, so maybe it was farther down his finger. at one point he called me and i asked "does it look like the mouth of a muppet?" and he said it did. gross.
