Jacob's Finger

I was brave. The splinter is gone! Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Jacob

When the nurse asked how it happened Jacob said, "I was just walking by the office and scrapped against the door." Dr. Isaacs used novocain to numb the finger which was by far the worst part. Drew said he only screamed (at the top of his lungs so that anyone within a 10 room radius could hear) for 10 seconds. Then it was numb. The splinter removal, which involved a long knife, forceps, digging and lots of blood took approximately 3 minutes. The big event was over and the pain has been minimal if any today.
