On Monday Garry finally got his tractor- on Tuesday he got his baler- on Wednesday he tried baling straw- after finally buying some in the field and getting them to stop chopping - but the baler didn't work very well- so he tried to fix it for three days - on Friday morning he got his hand stuck between a moving part for the knotter and a hard place - and got 15 stitches and has been going to the hospital for treatment every morning. So far no infection (he was covered with grease and dirt when it happened- and the hospital had no water to wash his hand before sewing it up) and is on oral and injectable antibiotics.
I have a photo of the stitches - there are two cuts on the top of his hand but Jonah decided the one of him with his new puppy and kitten is better viewing. That's what he did while I was teaching English this week- one more week to go! If you are on facebook there are photos of me posted by students and fellow teachers.
So the inside of the barn looks nearly ready for cows, there are some bales of straw in the mow, and the field is worked so they can plant millet for feed for the cows this winter, and Garry will heal up as usual, just more scars to explain.
