A funeral for two? (not for the queasy)

Yesterday Scott's dad had a little accident while out farming. Yes, it is known to happen quite often around our house. He was trying to fix a belt on the corn auger and lost control before realizing what he had done. Scott was there thank goodness and noticed his dad hold up his right hand over top of his left and Scott knew right away what had happened. So, he rushed him to the emergency room. Luckily, he only cut off the first and middle fingers on his right hand starting from the fingertip to the bottom of his fingernails. He has to go tomorrow to the orthopedic surgeon to see what they are going to do from here. Hopefully all goes well and he won't be in too much pain when the Dr. starts poking around on him. The good news is he's been through this all before when he was about twenty years younger and cut off his ring finger on his right hand (coincidence? maybe) on a fan blade in the hog house. So, good thing that finger was already gone, otherwise he would have clipped that one too :)

Oh my goodness. I hope all goes well at the doctor's appointment. Thank goodness that Scott was there and able to help.
