DAD TO THE RESCUE!

    Okay, I'll try to keep this short ... HOWEVER, I'm new to FaceBook and don't really get all that you can do, but I get it enough to check on recent "posts" of our daughters.  Imagine my shock when I see Carin has a "post" she's at the Emergency Room because one of her research horses at the A&M Vet School, Research Department, decided to bite down on her left index finger and she's possibly lost the tip. 
    Well as any Mother would do, I called immediately!  She's in some pain, they were able to stitch her finger okay, and her nail is a mess ... but, Rusty is traveling and she's going to have to deal with feeding their 20 horses and Dylan (he's been awesome of late), so she's not comfortable taking the prescribed pain medication! 
    I offer for the three of us and Rascal to come and help for the weekend, then before she can respond I rescind my offer of "all" and offer Dad's help!  Well she was slow to respond, so I took that as an indication she really wants someone with her ... so a quick duffle bag packed and off Dad goes to aid with the feeding of horses and to entetain Dylan!
    Guess you never outgrow your need for Mom and Dad!  Until next time ....

It was a freak accident and something I have done many times before....it will be a long time before I do it again that is for sure. I'm glad Dad was here to help. I could have done it all but would have been in a lot more pain than I needed to be. Its amazing how much a crushed, broken, and lacerated finger hurts! I am looking forward to my Vicodin tonight!
