To gcreekrch -- YES they do make prosthetic fingers. You can buy them at any office supply store. I have only seen them in one color and they are made of rubber. That plus a little super glue should do the job!

There you go, that sandhills ranch is going to have to raise a pig. Just wring that liver out into a jar for soaking your finger in. Eat ham and pork chops for a few weeks to make you apreciate why you raise cattle. Boiled pork hocks make a nice starter on Christmas morning and a new pigskin seat on that ranger. Wink

Hope you're healing well, Soap. That don't look good at all but it could have been much worse standing near that contraption and taking a leak. Shocked Wink

In all honesty, that wasn't the case at all. I am glad because it would have been very difficult to have gotten all done back up with my hand in the condition it was. I actually have no conscious memory of putting my hand on the pumpjack. After setting the gas can near the running contraption, my attention was distracted watching the cattle as they crowded in near the tank. All of a sudden something felt funny, and I looked down to see that the outer end of the finger was no longer where it should be. After making a cell phone call to Peach, my next order of business was to crawl over the fence to stick the bleeding hand into the cold water coming out of the iwindmill leadpipe.

For those of you who are curious, SD Gal is my second cousin. She and I share the same great grandfather on our pedigrees. Smile
