nicely done. ouch that smarts real good. how many stitches? inside stitches or just outside stitching? some of that nail or all of it is going byebye?

chadwick

decent painkillers? don't get the percocets if you're into your beer, darn tylenol. oxycodone i believe is the ticket for no acetaminophen/tylenol

Imalive.Sorry about your digit. It will smart for a while But I would like to now welcome you to the very exclusive missing fingers club.Now ,I realize that your commitment to full amputation fell a little short of the mark, but we welcome you with open arms and damaged fingers .you are now entitled to all rights and privileges of the rest of the members.Congrats on the hours of horrible bar,fishing and bullshit stories you will get from this unfortunate event.I hope your a righty?

I lost the tips of my right middle and pointer in 1977 when a antique solid oak hutch fell on me while I was climbing on it looking for headphones to listen to the first Boston album.Missed most of 4th grade and acquired numerous nicknames growing up due to little experience.I used to have to customize my baseball batting gloves or those two fingers in the fabric would look like bunny ears,lol.But I could throw one nasty knuckleball.
I am kinda an expert now so PM me if you need any advice?Keep it clean!!!!Heal fast.

damn it! that hurt

i know a guy who when he was a child put his fingers into one of those old fans (not sure if it was a metal fan or not) without much of a guard. gone half a ring finger. dude had more girls on his trail than you could shake a stick at.

i nearly lost my L thumb when i was a child as i was playing up in a fold out bed/couch. up in there i was somewhere until mom folded it back up & tried making the fold out bed a couch again. crunch or smashsquish or whatever it was... i can't touch my thumb & pinky tips on that hand but can on the right hand

OWWWWWW!

Dead Man Walking

perhaps a warning in the title of the thread? I was almost ready for dinner. Now, not so much.

Sorry about your thumb. At least it'll grow back.

PJ_Soul

@-)
That's fucking gross.
I'm also sorry about your thumb. At least it wasn't the whole thing.

northerndragon

DDDDDAAAAAAAAMMMMNNNN! that's rough.
At least it's only part of the tip - heal fast
Also a tip from when my dad tried to use the table saw to do this to his thumb - baby socks make the best covers for keeping it clean.

Enkidu

I can't believe I looked at that. Can I unsee it? (Sort of like unseeing a blue waffle...) What's the update? You don't need to post a photo, just words will be enough.

Yikes! Thank goodness you did not sever the digit, otherwise we'd have to start calling you stumpy.

I'll bet your club has it's shit together more than the 10C @-) . I'm honored to join. "first Boston album" )

let this be a lesson to all....DO NOT attempt to hold a 2x2 upright with a thumb whilst (that's for chad) attempting to cleanly split it with an ax (for firestarter). luckily I am a righty. I got seven stitches with one thru the nail. should I post more pics?

P.S. at the clinic they asked the usual questions....do you drink alcohol? yes. how much? 'bout 15 beers a day for the past two days of camping. the injury occurred first thing in the morning. hungover, perhaps. drunk, no.

Last-12-Exit

I know what your feeling buddy. My left hand was crushed by a rail wheel 4 years ago. I lost the top digit on my index finger and the top 2 digits on my middle finger.

My advice to you: if there was any tendon damage, follow through with the physical therapy. If you don't, you will lose motion. If you do end up losing that digit, phantom pains are real. It is going the strangest feeling in the world to feel pain in something that isn't there.

Good luck, hope you make a full recovery.

chadwick

i would imagine what really hurt was the going through of his fingernail. tender under there like the toenails.

were you splitting kindling getting ready for the up coming fireplace/woodstove heating season or maybe backyard firepit or camping trip or hickory smoked bbq meats?
