[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 3714847, member: 45551"] When I was in kindergarten my grandpa was using his table saw outside. I was playing around in the yard. My grandpa NEVER cussed. In fact, I never ever even heard the man raise his voice. I heard the saw turn off and he said in the calmest voice I have EVER heard in my life "Patti Sue, come over here and help me find my damn fingers, girl." 😳 I skipped over to where he was (give me a little slack, I was 5) found 2 of the 3 fingers he had sawed off (never did figure out how he missed his index finger but got the other 3) and then ran to the barn for cotton and a bottle of saline. He went to the house to get Grandma. It seems surreal now but none of this was done with any kind of panic from either one of us -- urgency, yes but no "whaaawhaaaa hairs on fire" kinda ****. I was mad at the hospital because they would not let me go in the room and hold my grandpa's hand while they sewed his fingers shut. And I was doubly mad when I found out they didn't even try to sew his fingers back on. Oh the perfect world of a 5-year-old. Lol Grandpa swore that it didn't hurt until the docs started messing around with them. He did say later that you haven't hurt until you've had phantom pains. That's the only time I ever saw him give an inch. He'd have a drink when his fingers would hurt but otherwise was a tee-totaler. [/QUOTE]
