Best of luck with your recovery - I'm glad there wasn't any permanent damage.

Last week I went to my mechanic's shop to deliver a part for the work that's being done on my 91 350SD, one of his friends/co-mechanics came in with his hand in a sling - he had cut off THREE of his fingers that day in another mechanic's shop!! As a professional saxophonist who depends on his fingers DAILY for his living, just the thought sent shivers down my spine...
He said they gave him a 75% chance of keeping the fingers, but there was no way to determine how much or even IF he will have the use of the fingers if he is lucky enough to keep them. Oh man, it makes me nauseous just thinking of it.......

Anyhow, that's why it is ultimately worth it for me to pay someone to do this work on my auto - I simply cannot image something like that happening, much less can I even afford to be out of work for any extended period due to injury. Call me a wuss, but at least I'm a non-injured, fully intact wuss who can still play saxophone! Speaking of which - if you like jazz and/or saxophone check out my music on my website - www.RustyBlevins.com
