i did the dumbest thing yesterday and it hurts and i cant sleep because i keep re-playing it over and over so i hope if i post this i can get my mind to settle down.
i have feed conveyor. part of it quit working. the bottom pulley was spinng, but the belt was just sliding over the top one. i gave the belt a tug...the belt took off and pulled my hand right through the pulley. i looked at my hand and saw it was mangled. i have low blood pressure and i know i shock out easily, dso i didn't look again. i started to call my husband, then thought i would just drive to the hospital, since i was still screaming, i changed my mind and called him. he said he was on his way.
i thought i ought to get to the house. i don't live there but i thought the tenant might help, i couldn't turn my truck on so i walked up the lane. i felt the end of my finger fall off during the walk, but i didnt look because i was afraid and alone.
i got to the house and no one was home. i sat on his porch chair to wait for my husband. a few minutes later a friend of my tenant, who happrens to bea cop showed up. i've never been so happy to see any one in my life. he wrapped my hand up and made sure dh was on his way. he had called 911 though at the time i thought that wasnt necessary.
they all showed up and put me the ambulkance. my blood pressure was 80/40 and they didn't like that. they put 2 iv's in and took me to the hospital. my bp went right back up, but they said it was good that they were called.
i had to get transferred to terre haute and they did surgery to fix what they could. no one could find the end of my finger and i think either the pigs or the chickens ate it.
this hurts really bad,even with lots of vicodin and i'm tired but cant stop crying and cant sleep. all i can think is how stupid i was to do this. it was just dumb not thinking and now i hurt and my hand is screwed up and i want my finger back! stupid stupid stupid.
i knowq i'm lucky and it could have been much worse. i know i was stupid but i just want to quit seeing my hand go through that pulley in my mind. i hope this helps me sleep.
thanks for listening and be careful.
