Yesterday afternoon I ran my hand through the tablesaw. It hurt. Fortunately I was able to drive myself to the hospital in Sewanee about fifteen minutes away. There I was stitched up and sent on my way. They gave me a prescription for antibiotics, which I will take, and a prescription for narcotic painkillers, which I won’t. My friend Dennis was kind enough to drive me to CVS, Piggly Wiggly, and the cottage. I slept fitfully last night. This morning I took some extra strength liquid Tylenol, which helped tremendously. My dad drove up to get me and took me home. I was mostly in bed for the rest of the day. I need to call the hand surgeon tomorrow morning to schedule an appointment. Will miss a chunk of work I’m sure. Overall though I’m pretty fortunte.

No fresh snow overnight, but there was still plenty on the ground today to go sledding. Luke really enjoyed pushing Liz down the hill and chasing after her. We also played inside a lot. He overall did really well today.

It was a busy day. Luke and I read and played this morning, and also worked on a lot of projects. Some of them involved the big red ladder, which he was really excited about. After lunch we went to Port Royal to play, because it was actually really pretty weather. We followed up with a trip to the Spring Hill Kroger, which wasn’t as horrible an experience as expected. Back at the house we worked and played until Liz got off work.
