On Tuesday my boys were given the opportunity to make some bank by helping a neighbor break up a concrete (not cement, that is the powder stuff and I live with an civil engineer). As they got up early to start working I could see visions of money dancing in their heads.
About 5pm they come home and Logan is holding his thumb and some what dancing around. He had hit his thumb with a hammer. Not a love tap either. Immediately Brenn jumped up and took him to the Dentist in our ward (a must to have in your ward, along with a really generous Doctor) but alas it was after 5 and no respecting Dentist is still in his office.
Yesterday Brenn offered and he turned her down. If I had known I would have made him go. So this morning I made him go.
I am sure you are asking why in the world would you go to a Dentist if you smash your thumb? Well if you have pressure building up behind a finger or toenail and you drill a hole in it to drain the blood from underneath you are a lot happier! The drill a Dentist uses is the perfect tool. So now he is squeezing and draining his thumb. Hopefully he will be a lot happier.
I cannot begin to hold a candle to my friend Cindy but we have enough injuries for me.

I would never have thought of drilling a hole. I wonder if that will keep his nail from falling off.
Cool idea!
=)
Hey - pain is pain no matter how it is achieved it still hurts
That is so funny thay you would go to a dentist!! Owen smashed his finger in my mom's car door last year and it looked really bad...lots of pressure, so I got online and they said to heat a paperclip up to red hot and just quickly place it on the nail. It melted right through. I had to do it like twice but it broke through and drained great. It sealed back up so I had to do it again the next day but I did it while he was sleeping and he had no idea!
I hope that Logan feels better soon, Ouch! Love you guys!
Oh and his nail did still come off, so Logan can pretty much count on that.
