Irving, thanks for the reminder about the way life can change so suddenly - points to carpe diem but more to living with some eye to the future. I am sorry to learn of your loss and the trauma involved - but three weeks into it and with your positive attitude and the resourcefulness you showed in the emergency, I have a feeling that you will do well.
A very dear friend of mine cut off a finger with a table saw when just a kid - he shook it off and has done everything - probably more - than most guys ever will. Have never heard hm complain - from day one when the finger went flying. Given my deep interests and career, fingers have been immensely important and I have had them into just about every type of machinery and dangerous stuff imaginable for over 80 years - and God has protected them for me. But, tomorrow ???
I wish you well.
