2 summers ago i decided i woudl unload the dishwasher and as reached down quickly to get some forks adn i didnt see the pearing knife sticking straight up... i felt a wierd burning sensation and i looked down and i seen something poking out of the back of my hand.... yeah i ran the knife thru my hand and it was sticking up in the back.... this was on a sun so i went in and got some stiches..... it was inthe fat of your had by your thumb.... i went into work on mon and they said i couldnt be on light duty and couldnt come back without a release from the doctor since i worked construction and all my work was done wiht my hands.... i went back home and set down... i picked up a spinning rod and i could hold it but if i set the hook i would bust my stiches...... so i grabbed a bait caster and it worked.... i hooked up the boat adn headed to dale hollow that eve and ended up staying a few days......i didnt bust the first stich and i was back at work on the following mon...... so if there is a will there is a way.....
