My niece's husband had an accident with fireworks on Saturday night. As of now, he lost 1/2 of his left index finger and the thumb is horribly mangled. He will be going to surgery tomorrow and they are going to try to harvest enough muscle & tendon material from his forearm to try and reconstruct his thumb and the heel of the hand.

PLEASE--I know this is said every year--but PLEASE be careful

Right on! Fireworks can also set forest and grass fires as well as blow your dinger off.

What's lexdysia?

Another vote for being careful. Bubba and I used to set the backyard on fire every year

Right on! We have 10 fingers....

Well, I've still got mine, how 'bout everybody else?

10 fingers, 10 toes. Same with hubby. We enjoyed the fireworks of those around us, and the town's show... although the town's show was missing some of the finale due to an unexpected fire in the wagon that consumed some or all of the finale... no, I didn't hear if anyone was hurt. At least ours was lasted longer than San Diego's.

Does a BLEVE count?
