We've had a MAJOR set back on the cabin

I don't know why MEN can't listen to their spouse's
when they tell them to shut things down cause of
bad weather & they DON'T listen & keep going.
I'm not very happy about this not 1 BIT, & he has
messed up ROYALY by not doing like I had asked
& he admits he should have listened but didn't.
He was working on the window frame in the bathroom
& we had watched the weather B-4 he got started so it's
not like he didn't know the weather was going to get bad.
I had just went out to check on him after I got my stuff
stuff done when I seen the weather starting to change
& told him to shut everything down 30 mins B-4 hand.
Well when I didn't see him come in I went back out to
check on him & sure enough it was my WORST fear
I seen his hand wrapped up & I asked what happened.
He said, you know how I was telling you how dangerous
the table saw was? I said yeah & he took the wrap off' &
I freaked the flip out, I came UNDONE at the seams folks.
He had cut 1/2 his thumb off, I'm not joking I'm serious
I knew it was going to happen 1 day & sure enough it
did, I always tell him to BE CAREFULL but does he? no.
I told him to get in the house & well he almost didn't make
it he almost past out on me outside & I knew I couldn't lift
him or tug on him to get him in the house & no 1 was around.
My sugar & BP went out the door on me I got wheezy & I knew
I had to keep myself from going down to get him in the house
as soon as I could, I had just taken my insulin just B-4 that too.
I managed to get him inside & thank god I did, cause I knew
this wasn't good, & I got some ice with water & put his hand
in it & I knew it was going to hurt like ?? but it had to be done.
After 2 hrs & me telling him he HAD to go to the hosp there
was no way I could do anything with it till he went to the hosp
so finally after 2 hrs we went to the hosp & they freaked too.
They got him in as fast as they could & 3 hrs later got him
bandaged up, but they had to take me out of the room cause
I wasn't in good shape with my sugar & BP all out of whack.
So yeah a long story short, spouse's please listen when they
tell you to shut things down & don't be stupid thinking that
you just have to get something done, it can wait till later.
Cause now he admits he should have listened & now we're
at a set back cause this coming month, I have a vet visit, 2 dr
appts, bills, & now this with him going to the dr to get healed up.

Me too, but it's going to be a life long memory
maybe this will give him the constant reminder
to listen when I say SHUT IT DOWN.

I'm not so sure now after it's been a few days, just by
how bad it's swollen since he's had it bandaged up.

@2ndchances24 It might be a good idea to have it checked

Oh! That sounds terrible.. Sometimes it just happens that one gets adamant and doesn't realise what the other person is saying. I hope that both of you feel better soon.

been fine but instead he didn't & got hurt really bad.

@arunima25 we just got up, & I had him put some ice on it last night
& it took some of the swelling down but I think its the way it wrapped.

I´m very sorry. But I think that not only husbands don´t listen when they should. Everyone of us, whatever the gender, have that problem. And I would not even start talking about children.

I agree, there's times when I've seen a lot of people
that don't listen & wish they had of AFTER it's too late.

It sure was a life time change for me, & I'm pretty sure
he will be MORE careful about using ANY saw like that.

O M G ! ! ! it was my worst nightmare that
shouldn't have never happened BUT we
know our spouse's just don't listen till it's
too late, then they feel like "I should have
listened & waited till the weather cleared."
