I was in a hurry yesterday to go to the store and as I started to go out the front door, I grabbed the side of our big METAL front door intending to close it as I went out. Unfortunately, I forgot to get my finger out of the way in time and slammed it on my right ring finger.
Needless to say I realized too late that I should have used the door knob to close the door instead, because here I am…caught with my finger between the door and door frame. Luckily, my daughters were in the living room and heard my cry of pain. I don’t think that I have ever have come so close to passing out from pain before.
After a trip to the local urgent care, I found that I had managed to crush the first digit of my finger into about 6 pieces as well as spliting open my finger.
So where is the silver lining to this rain cloud?
I hunt with a crossbow instead of a vertical bow so it doesn’t keep me out of the woods.
I may have to get my oldest girl to cock it for me a couple of days until the bleeding stops and the swelling goes down a little, but it won’t cancel my season as it would have shooting fingers or a release with a vertical bow. It don't hurt being left handed either. It just goes to show that there is a silver lining behind every cloud even if you brought on the rain clouds by being careless. 
Glad you will still be hunting.

....was walking out the door one time and wacked the door jam with my knee cap, that dropped me to the deck real fast and passed out 20 seconds later
