8 out of 10? WHAT?!

No kidding, don't open this if the sight of blood makes you ill!

My poor brother Grover has done it up right once again... Apparently, while building some planter boxes he earned himself a fine tablesaw-kickback souvenir. Hunter reports that it was a piece of wood that did the damage, not the saw blade.

When the ER nurse asked him what his pain level was on the 1-to-10 scale, Grover told her it was a measly little 8! Hunter said, "WHAT?!"... to which Grover replied that his perforated bowel last summer took home the 10 score.

Those of you who are the praying types, Grover could use your prayers as the ER is going to work on him right now...

It seems to make it hurt worse every time I see the pics/xrays. Typing left-handed only sux...

Well, the docs at Campbell Clinic are telling Grover that there's nothing surgical they can do that will really help him, and that the bone will have to reconstitute itself as best it can. (moo's interpretation of medical-speak)

Grover's sweet wife Stephie just texted me that the ER gave him a pain block at the 2nd finger joint, so he's out of the super-bad pain for now, and they're consulting an Orthopedic for next steps.
