P365 - 2014 - Day 324 - the world turned upside down

Day one of being home for break started off normal.... My Wonderful Husband got work done, I went to the gym before heading out to deliver fundraiser wreathes.  While I was gone, he got started on completing the trim in the house.  When I got back, things were looking good - the trim was just about done.  So I grabbed myself a yogurt before getting ready to get the kids off the bus.  That's about the moment when the world turned upside down.  My Wonderful Husband yelled once and then shouted - "I need to go to the hospital right now - please get me a bag full of ice."  In a blur of nerves and adrenaline I grabbed a bag of ice, grabbed my keys, and we jumped in the car and rushed to the emergency room.  He was using a circular saw and it slipped.  Just like that.  It slipped and the world turned upside down.  I got him to the emergency room where they ushered him right past triage and into a bed where they quickly examined and assessed the situation and told us that he would be rushed into surgery immediately.  I believe in the power of angels - I have first hand experienced the difference that angels have made.  This time was no different.  There was an angel certainly holding back the blade of that saw from doing the ultimate damage that I thought had happened at first.  There were angels carrying my car to the emergency room as I sped and swerved through traffic and got there in record time without being pulled over and, if I recall, without hitting one red light on Rt 72.  And there was an angel or two or three or more.... when they told us that the hand specialist was actually on call and would be able to do surgery immediately.  Believe what you want... but I choose to believe that there were angels with us.  They can't stop the bad things from happening.... but they can do their best to make it go smoother.  I am certain they had their work cut our for them in that operating room.  The good thing is that there are angels right here in the flesh as well.  Friends that took our kids, got their homework done, fed them, and kept them safe until I could get back home, family and friends that checked in, sat with me, called, sent texts, and kept me sane through the hours of waiting.  There were the nurses and doctors at the hospital... they were quick and efficient and mostly, kind.  There was the surgeon who I am so thankful was on call - she did an amazing job and was able to save My Wonderful Husband's finger.  Thank you angels.
