What a bummer! Been there, done that myself, almost completely cutting off the little finger of my left hand many years ago with a skill saw. Shattered the bone and the top half of my pinky was stickin sideways. Friggin hurt like a Big Dog! Through a series of stupid mis-haps and delays I was not given anything for the pain for nine hours. But my story has a happy ending in that the amazing docs at Loma Linda put my finger back together and it works great, with the ony residual affect being I can't quite straighten it out all the way :-)
And Jobe, you wrote, " The creek water is @ 11 inches below the dam of the anniversary pool now. ", actually that would be the Arizona Pool that your talking about :-)
Hope you get a good doc to sew that puppy back up for you Jobe :-)
