Ron's Spring Break Grand Finale

This year, Spring Break happened to fall on the week that Ron didn't have to worry about payroll so he put in to take off the whole week. He was also given "Good Friday" and "Easter Monday" so he ended up only needing 3 days and 3 hours of leave.

Oh he had talked of this and that he wanted to take care of and he actually made pretty good progress...until yesterday afternoon (Sunday, April 11). That's when he subconsciously decided he HAD to return to work with a boo-b00 to prove he'd been working! And boy did he end up with a good'n!

Earlier his buddy had changed out the blade on the utility knife they'd been using to cut the drywall when necessary and shortly ended up slicing his own finger! After bandaging him up, and eating lunch, I don't recall where exactly I was when I hear a "Annie...Ron dang near cut his finger off!" OH NO!!!! I dashed out and sure enough there was enough blood to make someone think a heinous stabbing had occurred. I told Ron to run to the bathroom and run cold water over his finger...that didn't work...hmmm...I ran and pulled several paper towels and grabbed his hand and while trying not to inflict further pain on him, thrust his arm up over his head trying to get it to stop that way...ehhh...at least it slowed down bleeding. I spritzed it with peroxide and that even helped more in stopping the blood flow until I was able to get a bandaid on it.

By the time we got to bed, I'd changed his bandage 2 more times (you can't keep a good, hard-working man down) and even this morning before I left for work, this time using some gauze UNDER the bandaid!

I can hear his co-worker's now... "RON...Good heavens...what on earth did you do!?!" when he got in to work this morning...POOR RON!!!

I'm just thankful that he didn't get hurt worse...
