First time I was working on a piece of farming equipment putting a chain back together.Went to get down and was holding on to the sprocket and my foot slipped and left me hanging by my one finger(good thing I only weighed 175 and not 225 like now).That was about 20 yrs. ago and my wife talked me into wearing it again about 6 months later.It was okay for about 3 months when I went to get down from a platform and slipped again.Nasty cut again and swelled up finger but still have it all.I haven't wore it since.She understood after I explained that if I didn't want anyone to know I was married all I had to do was put it in my pocket.We both know we are married and that is all that counts,the ring just tied the bond.

I know some of you saw the story in GON a while back where the fellow lost his ring finger when his band got caught on something as he fell or something. Anyways, I had a similar incident happen to me yesterday as I was climbing down out of my stand. As I stepped off of my bottom step onto the ground my ring got caught on the screw in step that I was holding onto. I didn't lose the finger but I got a nasty cut and my ring is bent all out of shape and has to go to the jeweler to be fixed. At least it wasn't the trigger finger !!!!!!!

One afternoon a water dept employee was digging with a backhoe to install a meter at my place. He stepped off to get a drink, slipped, fell, and his wedding band caught on the side of the machine. He staggered around, looking at his hand, then asked us to help him find his finger. I drove him to the e.r., but the doc said it wasn't re-attachable.

I was amazed at how little pain the poor guy was in. He didn't even break a sweat. I also told him that he could keep the dixie-cup we hauled it in.

Well, I'm not married any more.

BUT...........

I can remember being married only a few months and I had my wedding ring on. I did "EXACTLY" as you did......I was comin' down the tree and my ring caught a screw-in and I looked at my finger and you couldn't even see the ring......It had slid up under my skin all the way to the knuckle...... :speechles :speechles I never wore my ring again.......

Maybe that's just "ONE" reason I ain't married no mo!!!!!!!!!
