Besides Boobs... Monday happenings

Nate came home for lunch with a blackened fingernail. Yum. He dropped something on his hand, apparently. Anyway, about halfway through lunch he mentions he thinks it's broken. Fun!! Of course, telling the man to take a Motrin and go to the doctor is like talking to a wall.
Typical conversation in the Insanity household
"I have a headache."
"Did you take some Motrin?"
"No."
"You get no pity from me until you take some Motrin. Sorry"

Anyway, he went back to work, and decided to see the medic. They splinted his finger and sent him to the ER, he may need to see an orthopedic surgeon. Fun!! Mind you, during his previous enlistment, he tore off the tip of his ring finger while in the field (not completely off, just most of the way), and had to have it re-attached. His poor fingers are going to go on strike. Keep your (healthy) fingers crossed for him, hopefully this will just be a fracture.

**Update**
The radiologist doesn't think it's broken, but he'll have to follow up with the Ortho tomorrow. They did puncture the nail to drain off the blood, Nate says he's feeling 10 times better now.
