Yikes!!
A couple weeks ago, Lance was about to head out of town for a long weekend at the lake with some friends he gets to see a couple times a year. It was already a longer day at work than he anticipated, and then....yikes!!!! At the end of everyday, he has to unload the back of his truck that is home to VERY heavy drill bits. Well, he was unloading a bit that was 315 pounds and whamo...finger is smashed! Thankfully, they are required to wear these certain gloves that protect the bones of their hands, BUT...his finger was blown out! Ewwwwww!! He had to go to the ER to have it xrayed, where they thought for sure it was broken, his finger nail was removed and they had to stitch him back up again. Thank you Baker Hughes for the saftey guidelines you place on these guys to wear the correct gloves...his bones were very much in tact. Here is a pic of the lovely finger for those of you who don't have a week belly. :)

Oh wow, Andrea - that's CRAZY! We had a friend that had that happen to his toe a few weeks ago - looked almost just like that. OUCH! So glad Lance was wearing the safety gloves. Hope he has a quick recovery!
