I just got a call from Mike’s boss. He said that he got hurt at work and they took him to the hospital by ambulance. The boss didn’t give any details, but gave me the number for the hospital. I tried to call, but they said I can’t talk to him now. I would go down there if I knew where the hospital was, but I’ve never even been to the job before. He works in Jersey, so it would be a long haul with the kids. I’ll have to wait to hear more.
So, I guess, I’m just asking for good thoughts right now.
My thoughts will be with you and your husband.
Jesus honey, my thoughts are with you and your kids.
But it may just be that they take everyone to the hospital, for everything from a broken bone to a small cut, because of insurance issues. That may also be why the boss couldn’t say anything.
Please keep us up to date.
What does he do for a living?
Hope all works out.
Dragongirl, I certainly hope he’s okay. Can you call his job back and see if anyone can give you some more info?
Positive thoughts going out your way. May all be well with you and your husband.
My love and prayers are coming your way, hon.
I hope they just took him to the hospital as a precaution, and that the injury is minor.
My Love,
Cheri

How difficult to have to sit there not knowing! I’m sending good thoughts your way. Keep us posted when you know more and have a chance.
I have a friend whose husband had to be rushed to the hospital from work in an ambulance–and all it was, was that he walked into a forklift’s fork (it was in the UP position, see) and he cut his face open right above his nose (and no, we don’t understand how he managed it, either), and anyway, he was bleedin’ like a stuck pig from his forehead, so the manager hit the OSHA panic button and called 911.
And of course the hospital wouldn’t let her talk to him, either, for a while, as he was busy having his face sewed up.
He looks fine now, BTW. (I just realized this may not be such a good story after all…)
Anyway, sometimes Management decides that it has to look good to the Union, so they call an ambulance.
We’re with you in spirit, dragongirl. I hope that everything is OK.
dragongirl, best thoughts and prayers headed your way.
dragongirl, hang in there…we are all pulling for you and your family.
I went to mapquest and managed to find my way to the hospital. We just got home a little while ago.
Mike drives a rolloff truck and while he was doing something with the lid or the door (I’m not sure which) It slammed shut on his hand and severed the first digit on his finger. It was hanging on a small piece of skin and the bone is totally crushed. They stitched the finger back on and he’s got a follow up visit to the doctor on Tuesday morning. He’s got to be very careful with the finger, because the doctor said that if it bumps into anything, they might have to remove it all together.
He’ll be out of work for the next few weeks. He’s very worried about it.
Thanks for all the good wishes.
Sending thoughts and prayers your way. I’m glad it’s not any worse though that is bad enough. Please keep us updated and we will keep your family in our thoughts .
Tell hubby not to worry too much , since this happened at work workman’s comp should help cover everything.
Ouch. Get well soon Mike.
