The chain got a hold of my glove and sucked my hand in between the chain and back sprocket. Fron there I remember looking up at Gregg saying, "I'm ****ed, I'm ****ed, we got to go!" I then pulled my glove off, fingers were dangling and off to the hospital we went. The pain was okay and everything was fine until the doctor had me sign the release stating he might have to amputate...that's when reality set in and tear fell. They shot me up, went to surgery, and woke up with one finger gone and one jacked up. I am waiting for the pins to come out and rehabe to start and we will see from there. Wanted to say "thanks" to everyone that was there, you know who you are, and for all those who called with there concerns.

Normally I'm not one for simpathy, but there were alot that wanted to know what happened, so here it is...
