Steve cuts the tip of his thumb off!!!

Most of you already know by now that Steve had an accident two weeks ago. He was working at his shop and called me to take him to the emergency room. Those of you that know Steve (or any of the Saddler boys) know that if he is asking to go to the hospital, it's gotta be bad. Evidently, he decided not to use his "push stick" and used his finger instead to move a board out of the way. While doing this, he forgot that his thumb might get in the way. Well, x-rays proved he didn't get the bone. It seems to be healing rather well though I still can't look at it. His thumb will be a little flatter at the tip than it used to be!!! He was so excited that they wrapped it up with so much stuff. The bright blue was especially appealing as he had to speak in Sacrament Meeting for Ward Conference the following day.

Just a little smoke and jolt on that railway ride, eh? Glad he's healing up well.
