It was after William's birthdaty party, the final guests had just left (thanks for staying and chatting, Chris and Victoria). Melisa was on the phone with her Mom updating her in Will's party.
I grabbed Melissa's keys so that I could put her car back in the garage. We left it out so we could bring all the groceries in easier.
I opened the door that leads from the kitchen into the garage. I turned, and with my left hand pushed the button to open the garage door. For some reason or another (it happened SO fast) I had placed my right hand at the seam of the door, leaving my pinky vulnerable to the EVIL door. Apparetntly I had also pulled the door closed at the same time as pushing the button, because the next thing I knew, SEARING PAIN in my hand,
I grabbed my right hand to stop the bleeding, and then looked at the result. I didn't think it was gonna be that bad. And then saw the tip of my pinky was gone, and I think I saw bone.
I was screaming and yelling, which obviously got Melissa's attention. She came out, followed by William and Slappy. I told her that I thought I needed to go to the ER and she agreed.
It waslike a circus getting us all in the car and Slappy back in the house. I was obviously freaking out and crying and trying my best (though it wasn't working) to stay calm. Melissa kept telling me to get in the car. I was so worried about William and Slappy, and getting my cell phone and wallet.
Somehow, though, the three of us managed to get in the car and get on the road to the ER.....
To Be Continued....
