Carpool to Newton

[msjay.livejournal.com]

I'm wondering if anyone on here drives to Newton (specifically the Needham St area). To make a long story short: On Tuesday night I was carving a pumpkin, cut my pinky deep enough to hit the tendon and am now having surgery on it today. My dilema is that I will have what has been described to me as a boxing glove of dressing covers my entire hand and partial arm... leaving me unable to drive in a safe manner. I would consider the T, but I would have to make at least 3 bus transfers, or a bus to lechmere and switch to D line later, or walk 20 mins to Davis and get on redline and switch at Park st. All the travel would require me to get up VERY early, which makes me sad.

I've been told my arm will also be in a plastic sling that does not keep my arm close to my body but actually in the air and away from it (extended arms like a zombie looking for brains type of situation) for about 6 weeks. hopefully after that my other fingers would be free so I could then drive myself after that point.

Also I must be at work from 8:30 - 5:30, but if you leave before 5:30, and can not wait, I could take the 59 bus to Watertown and have my parents drive me home. My main concern is actually getting to my job.

Ouch. Best I can do is West Newton, morning leg only (quite early), 2 days out of every 6 (I teach half-time on a weird schedule). But if you can't find anything better, I could get you to the general area W and Th of next week if you were ready to go by, like, 7 (and 2 days out of every 6 thereafter).
