Now I gotta mess

So I hit my left index finger with a brick hammer at work today at full force.  I was working on a patio and cutting a stone with a chisel and the hammer glanced off the chisel and hit my finger.   I am having surgery in the morning to put it all back together.

In the meantime I am looking for help to bale the 53 acres of hay I have down this week.  Not allowed to do much other than drive for a few days.   Gonna make things interesting for the next 6-8 weeks.

Here is the plate and screws installed this morning.  Now in a splint cast for two weeks...then starts the therapy!  Bone was broken into 6 pieces.
