Gash on finger quickly healed
My wife, Dotty, and I had taken some time off to visit my mother. She lived in a wilderness area in a home that had been an old hunting cabin, and there was thick brush throughout the property. My mom, with help, had cleared a meadow in front of the house. I offered to use a chain saw to cut out some brush.
I got to work, but suddenly the saw hooked on the branches and kicked back, cutting one of my fingers apparently to the bone. Mom saw this happen and ran me to the house, put my hand in the sink, and ran cold water over it.
My sister, who was also at the cabin, was a medical nurse. She was extremely concerned about the wound and wanted to take me to a hospital for stitches.
