Fingertip Avulsions (and why you should avoid them) #2
Well, last night was the first time I changed off the dressing on the ring finger. I don't know what to expect on the doctor visit on Monday, but I was encouraged that whatever "miracle foam" the ER doctor put onto the tip seemed to work really well. Not to be gross, but he had said the foam was something that would encourage the formation of a scab and would encourage the healing process. It seems this foam has at least bonded with the former fingertip. So I suppose ... that's a "good thing".
As is my new usual practice, I spent some medical research time on the web yesterday, and researched my most recent ailment. If you have the guts for it, put in a Google search for "finger avulsion". Do not do this around small children.
We had a little outing last night - went to see "War of the Worlds". We enjoyed it, but I think it's not a "kid's movie" ... too bad. When Tom Cruise isn't hopping up and down like a moron on "Oprah" (didn't see it, just read about it), or espousing his views on medicine and post-partum depression, he's not too bad an actor. I found it a little lacking and slow when Tim Robbins turned into his normal self (ie: a complete nimrod) but I was relieved when Tom Cruise dispatched him. OK ... not as relieved as when Tim Robbins met his fate in "Team America - World Police", but a close second. Anyway, Spielberg held relatively closely to the original story line (with one noted exception), and it was in my humble opinion, a good summer movie.
Today, we might go back to see "Batman Begins" in the IMAX version. Hey, I can tell them I already know how Batman began (I think it was Easter of '65) thanks to Mom and a lining from one of her old winter coats:
Maybe I will bring in this picture, and they'll give us free tickets!

Funny, but "Daredevil" was my second favorite superhero.
I wonder what it says that I would pick two superheroes that had pointy things on the tops of their heads?
When I bought my cane, I actually looked at a red "fold-out/whip-out" version, but thought the better of it to get a more manageable version. Plus, I didn't want anyone thinking I was blind like Matt Murdock.
