He called me to help him and asked me to hold it up while he got ready to wire it to some big old screws in the studs of the garage. I did not realize how heavy it was. I lost my concentration and it started to fall and take me and my thumb (which apparently was caught somehow on something) with it. I fell, the mower fell but landed well away from me.
It hurt A LOT. Poor Steven could not console me. I was so frightened and AT THE SAME TIME WORRIED THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SEW TODAY!
Well, I did manage to pull the motor on the miscreant 201, re-service it and re-install it. Then Betsy came over to sew. But we had to finish up work on the 222 and the Jeans Machine.
Then we went to the loft to sew. She got tired of me griping everytime I moved my thumb.
(She thinks its broken, we will know tomorrow after an xray).
She sat me down and splinted my thumb with available supplies in the sewing loft. Some very stiff craft interfacing, some batting and some elastic.
I hope you sleep well and are not in too much pain. I also hope your thumb is not broken. I'm so sorry this happened to you. :(

DeleteTake your wedding ring off. If your hand swells it would have to be cut off!
ReplyDeleteGood idea except that because of my knuckle I don't think it will come off.
Deletetry getting your hand good and soapy and see if it will slide off when still has soap on it!
DeleteOK It is off. I used TRI FLOW GREASE. Worked like a charm. And it is food grade so no worries, there!
Deleteyou poor baby! here's hoping it's not too serious.
ReplyDeletehope it's not broken! you ARE funny, worrying that you would not be able to sew!

Yes, I am aware of that. Instead I should have worried that I could not do my job, which requires two hands.
