Yeah, so I found out yesterday that my brother hurt himself at work the other day. He’s now on workers comp for four weeks and the injury is pretty serious. He’s alive and he can still walk, but in a technical sense, he’s kinda an amputee.
I won’t go into the gory details, but I guess he was using one of his tools that is like a rotating belt (no idea what it was, I know nothing about being a mechanic), his index finger got caught in it and now it’s a little shorter after surgery.
He was over yesterday and I could see the bandages, it looked pretty bad, and I sure as hell don’t want to see underneath them until it’s all healed.
On the bright side of things, I think he’s got a new girlfriend (she came over to the house with him). Which is a really good thing. He was obsessing over his ex way too much. I never liked her anyway and the way she broke up with my brother made me want to kill her. Travis did not deserve that or someone like her.
