My Miter Saw was the first to go when the doctor bills came...

Not too long ago the doctor bills came in for my younger daughter's fractured elbow.  All I can say is that it was more than what we had in reserve so some tools had to go.  My Kobalt 10 inch slider has helped me on a number of projects and was the first one to help us out with the bills.  I'm gonna miss this one...

Damn Bothuhead, bringing on the feels. Hope everything works out for you and your family!

Thanks Hatter.  I hate to say it but I'm probably going to return my Milwaukee 2630 circ saw too.  It still within the 90 days.

Do what you gotta do man. You can replace tools, can't replace the fam.

Sad, really. I feel you. :(

So wrong in so many levels to actually have to pay for medical treatment you or your family needs to have any way. :( And being in need to sell your good tools is even sader.

 

Reading the top text though, my first though was that you had cut yourself on the actuall saw, and it was sold in an "rage". 

 

 

Not the same situation as you, but given the low oil prices and my low age, I may not have a job for too long, and that means buying less tools. Which would be a sure bummer too. :( But the medical bills are at least practically free, which is nice when you are as clumpsy as myself. Also, the woman in the house last week had to get some titanium screws, large operation and have to walk with gypsum on the legg. Can't complain on the 50 $ bill total. Could have been a disaster, would guess it would cost a lot having two of the best surgeons, 4 anesthetic people, a lot of nurses ++. Damn.

I'm reading it again and it definitely sounds that way.  It is tough but I know that it's the fastest way to get cash and like others have said, the tools can be replaced.

Sorry to hear that man. I hope your little girl gets better quick. Saws come and go but little girls don't! I'll send good thoughts your way for a new CSMS when your little girl is better!

She's made a pretty good recovery, it's just that the bills didn't all come at once, it's like they saved the biggest chunk for last so I wasn't really expecting it.
