Looks bad Soap. When it is healed you might have a keyboard issue. When typing d's you might hit the c and you might not be able to reach the e. Might need a custom keyboard built. I hope it heals fast and you don't stick any other fingers where they don't belong. In the mean time it will be like an override button. You can stub your toe and the finger will still have most of the pain. :wink:

Can you order prosthetic typing fingers? :D

I really think you can. They just slip on like one finger off a rubber glove. Or kinda like those deals folks use that grip paper. Can't think what they are called....but I do think they make em for folks that type.
 
As I hit the submit button I remembered where I'd heard that. A friend of mine that ropes got one of her fingers yanked off in a ropin incident. She got the lil prosthetic thing so she could still use the keyboard without a problem......

Maybe we should take up a collection for poor ol' Soap..........On second thought maybe not, we might turn him into a Liberal :lol:
 
Hi There Soap! You well know that I am a squeamish lady. You'll not catch me putting a worm on a hook. I hate stepping in a pile of doo doo ESPECIALLY in heels! However, my curiosity won out. Oh my gosh it looks just dreadful, but after visiting last night I know you are in fine spirits. You have always handled negative situations with wit, determination and a positive attitude. I am glad for the many positives that you pointed out to me. It will take awhile to heal, but life is just exciting with 9 fingers as with 10! Luv Ya!
 
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!
 
Sorry to hear about your finger. hope the recovery is quick, and if you find it impossible to live with out, there might be hope..

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:
 
Soapweed,
Sure hate the finger wreck and hope it goes good for you. Keep it out of the preg testing this fall. OH and by the way, we will NOT be holding a collection for you and have one of them ding danged liberals beat you to the mailbox. Just get will sir. I sure appreciate your filling in for Shortgrass, you do a good job.

this is just too funny "shorthanded and lonesome" sounds like an autobiography for me :lol:

There you go Soap, you'll have no excuses for typos in a month or so. :wink: :lol:
 
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. :shock: :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. :-)
