I was leaving our monthly meeting at work when I got a call from AACS that Andrew had gotten his thumb stuck in the door and that they wanted me to come there to get him calmed down. So I thought I was just going there to calm him down and get him settled then go back to work. I was wrong. His finger looked broken, it was bleeding and he couldn't move it. So I took him to the ER at AAMC where I work. They took xrays and they let Andrew see them. He said he has Dinosaur Bones in his hands. It wasn't broken but the nail bed needed to be put back. In order to do that, they had to give him needles of Novocain in his sore thumb. I felt so sorry for him. It hurt so bad he was screaming not just crying. They gave him a popcycle after that. Once the finger was numb then the doc put the nail bed back. It was not a pretty site but I did tell Andrew he was getting a "manicure". Poor guy.
