I ran an unintentional experiment this weekend. When human flesh meets steel, steel wins. I have two broken fingers and a missing fingernail to prove it. I actually came out on the good side; it could have been much worse.
Now, roll your eyes at my stupidity. OK? As I've mentioned, we have a new lawn tractor. Well, the leaf vacuum attaches differently on it, right on top of the blades, not on the outside. Yep, you see it coming, don't you? Some pine needles had plugged the vacuum; on the Cub Cadet, that was easy to fix, since the input was well away from the blades...not so here. I lost a fingernail and broke two fingers; for my stupidity I should have lost more, but for whatever reason, God saw fit to spare me of more.
I have a huge bandage on my right hand, middle finger; it makes typing a bit difficult :(
I should create a new category: Stupid mistakes

Ouch, that sounds painful. I can imagine the reaction well as your fingers first hit too.
Hope they heal quickly!
Oh dear! Please be more careful! (I had to say that, I'm a mom now!) Seriously though I'm glad you are ok.
Love, Renee
