How to remove a ring from your finger!

Amanda's finger swelled up with her pregnancy and she couldn't remove her ring.
We had many tips from creative listeners on how to get it off! These are what she tried:

Windex - does make it slippery and would probably work for a SLIGHTLY swollen finger.

Preparation H- Smelled BAD. Did not work. Very Messy.

WD 40- Smelled, did not work.

Floss - Did not work.

Soap - Did not work.

Butter - Did not work.

soaking in ice water - Did not work. In fact, some nurses called in and warned the ice water could actually tighten the metal of the ring on her finger!!

elevating above the heart - Did not work


Valuable lesson: Don't try all of these in one morning. By 9am that particular finger was actually twice as swollen as the others.

Final result: Listener Connie, who works for hand surgeon Dr Kahle in Mongtomery, recommended an office visit. The good doctor tightly wrapped twine around the entire finger and slowley moved the ring over the twine. Very painful, took awhile, Amanda needed a local to reduce the pain during the procedure. If you end up in the same predicament and it comes to this, go to a Doctor - Please Don't try at home!!!

Toby Keith talks with Bill and Amanda!

Toby was pretty blunt about the experiences we heard about last week in Afganistan and Iraq and says they get fired on all the time but he hates it when those stories make it to the press. We chose Lola's question "Do you recognize "repeat offenders" in the audience and does it make him laugh and creep him" His answer: He laughs, but the look alikes in the audience - slightly creepy!
