Jammin

I had a slight mishap while working on one of our vehicles. I jammed a finger. I’ll give you two guesses as to which finger it was:

Guess 1:

Guess 2:

Spoiler alert if you haven’t already figured it out.

Since it was my ring finger, my ring was seeming to prevent the swelling from working its way into my hand. That was not so good, because it kept all the swelling in one place and my wife was concerned that it would get infected.

Apparently my brother has jammed his finger before, since his advice was to take the ring off immediately when you jam your finger. Which would be fine if I could get my ring off.

Even though my ring was stuck on, it never got tight enough that I couldn’t maneuver it to be able to see daylight between it and my finger. And the discoloration never made it all the way to the end of my finger.

My finger is back to normal now. My words of advice: keep your hands away from a tire that’s bouncing around.

The young men who grew up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you shall say to the people who spoke to you, saying, “Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make it lighter for us.” Thus you shall say to them, “My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins!”
