I saw the doc this am and, because I hit the nail bed, and because I write for a living, we're doing surgery. Tomorrow am they will put a double layer graft (silicon and proteins) so blood vessels will grow. In about 1 month, they'll take a pinch of skin from the side of my hand to make me a new fatty pad. It would heal under normal conditions, but I'd be left with scar tissue over bone that would feel "like getting kicked in the shin" every time I hit a key on the keyboard. It seems like the right thing to do even though it's all happening in a whirlwind. Not sure how much I'll be blogging.
And I was going to review Last-Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts too.

Oh my! I hope that tomorrow's grafting goes smoothly. Like Lee, I'll be thinking of you!
In the long run, you'll probably be really glad you had the surgery. Hope everything goes well.
I'm so sorry you are injured. Good luck with the surgery/recovery.
And by the way, I can't remember any trips to the hospital. Though I do have a vague memory of some mishap involving an ankle. But no memory of whose ankle was involved.

Oh my! All this because of a silly kitchen utensil (note to self: remember to never use a mandoline, at least the kitchen variety).
Hope you heal quickly!
Yikes! Good luck and heal quickly. I want to know about the Last Minute, etc., book.
I'm buying a pair of metal gloves tomorrow!
Oh, pooooooor. I'm sorry.

Oh my! I totally feel your pain...I did the same cutting a bagel years before they had those contraptions to keep people from slicing off the side of their finger. I hope all goes well and you are back to normal Stiching and Bitching soon.
Yikes! I hope the recovery time is quick.
Holy crap this is serious! You'll be fine though, and hopefully you'll be a regular blogger again in no time.
Owwwwwwwwwwe, just catching up with blogland and read about the whole madoline incident - poor you it sounds nasty, hope the surgery goes well.
Am now intrigued by the whole Bryn Mawr thing, it looks lovely, I quickly checked the link, but there was not much about the history of the place (will have to delve about). Made me laugh because Brynmawr is not far away from us, at the Heads of the Valleys. :)
Ouch ouch OUCH, you poor thing! Hope surgery goes well and you heal soon!
OMG Anna! Sorry to hear you have to go through all of this. I think the dude needs to take over all cooking chores for sure. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Oh wow! Lots of good thoughts and prayers for a quick and speedy recovery. So sorry you have to deal with all of this but I can understand why it's necessary.
Oh my gosh! I hope it goes well for you and that you heal quickly... sounds horrible, I must admit.
Oh, no! I'm so sorry--and it sounds super painful. Yikes. Not the blogging/stitchy finger! Better a toe--what do we use those for anyway?
Oh no surgery! Hope things go well and your finger heals fast.
Good grief! Who would have known it would come to this! I hope that things will go well and your finger will back to normal asap!
Anna- I hope everything went well and that you'll be back to your stitching ASAP.
And please stay away from sharp objects.
Oh my goodness!!! Hope everything goes well and hope you heal quickly!!! Best wishes :)
Oooooowwwwww!!!!!!!! I'm stumped for anything to say because I'm all caught up in sympathy pain. Ouch!!!!!
Heal fast!!!!
I so hope you are feeling better today. Keeping you in my thoughts & wishing you a speedy recovery.
