Well, in case you are horrified by the gory graphic I have posted, please understand that I made this picture black and white because my bride felt that the color version was "too graphic".
This is Nick's finger.
When your father tells you not to put your finger in the moving spokes of a bicycle tire - YOU LISTEN!
Sure enough, Jodi was out of town and I was working my hardest on cleaning the garage, fixing the bikes and getting all things in order. I was fixing my mountain bike tire and had the bike upside down and Nick came in, I was working at the work bench. I had my back turned for just a minute, and turned back to see Nick turning the wheel on the bike with the pedals. I said, "Nick, don't put your finger in there."
"Okay", came the reply. I then turned back to what I was doing, and literally seconds later Nick came to me and said that he had cut his finger.
Off to the emergency room. 6 stitches and a cut exterior flexor tendon later, we survived. This last Monday Nick went in for surgery to repair the tendon, and will be in this lovely cast for 3 weeks. He did incredibly well through the surgery and since. The only tough time was coming out of the anesthesia, which was awful. He's a champ, doing better since the surgery than he was doing before. Amazing.
We love you Nick.

Poor guy! Sounds like he was a real trooper through the whole thing. Hope it heals well!
We love you Nick! It's so cool to have a cast. I hope you're getting lots of attention and treats!
Good grief. I can't even look at the picture without my stomach flopping. Hope Nick doesn't frequent the blog!
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Wether you are 6 or 33.... I have learned that ALL boys don't listen very well!!
