Thank you for sharing!

P.S. Hope your son is healing quickly!

Thanks Cathryn - yes a do over - grateful for these small moments that validate our sobriety and getting another chance. So many times we don't get that chance.

He cut two fingers on a commercial table router / wood working piece of equipment. Painful - throbbing at night. But, should heal well.

I get the opportunity to clean and change bandages twice daily with him. I've shared some times I was stiched up over the years he had never heard.

These small windows of time which I use to rush through to get on to something "important" are so cherished, now.

Thanks for kind thoughts about him healing and thanks to all for the kind responses.

I love your posts, keeps things in perspective for me as I have young kids and it is nice to be there for them when the "middle of the night" emergencies come up.
