A Big Thank You to our Wonderful First Responders 😍

I want to extend a huge thank you to our first responders for coming to my aid when I decided, for some reason, that it would be a good idea to crush the tip of my pinky finger in my log splitter.

They arrived in no time, prepped the wound, and soon had me on the Island Responder and off to Duncan hospital, where they were able to sew my nearly severed fingertip back on. Time will tell how well it heals but at least it looks like a finger again.

I owe y'all a beer or three. :-)

Once again, thank you so much.
