ER visits are always fun. . .

Ouch, I bet you are thinking you could have done a better job sewing that up. Good thing it is in a wrinkle, that way the seam won't show. Wish you well and a speedy recovery.

 

That don't look like fun. Heal quick.

 

Ouch! Cut my pointer finger to bone last summer. Lost a lot of mobility - made it tricky to airbrush for awhile. Once it heals, be sure to work on bending/flexing it to get mobility back.

I stuck a knife into the joint of my thumb while skinning out a deer. The cut and trip to the ER was nothing compared to fact it was years before I could get full use. If you cut your little finger, oh well. You cut your thumb or index finger and suddenly you have a major obstacle you have to work around. Hopefully it heals quick and properly. Nerve damage is usually permanent so I hope you don't have nerve damage. I have nerve damage in my right index finger. Airbrushing is an almost excruciating ordeal.

 

That sucks! Hope you heal fast.

I did mine in a few season back on a bandsaw with a meat/bone blade on it... Offset teeth and all...
I got my stitches in, came home to a deer half done, figured best I finish it lol... Put a rubber glove over the bad hand and mounted a deer with 1 hand! Hardest part was setting that left eye clay work with my right hand.

 

Damm Jay! And I thought I was the only one stupid enough to get bit by the bandbonesaw. ;D
Hope you heal quickly Michelle!

 

Hahaha looks like we both pulled away just in time to save out finger! Amazing how similar they are!

Michelle,
Be careful! I couldn't imagine a tone going in my leg, ouch!

 

Hope you heal completely. I also hope you don't have any damage to the flexor tendon or its sheath -- that would prevent you from using your thumb to grasp anything. I hope the ER checked for "function" and didn't just stitch up the skin.

I severed the flexor tendons on my left index and middle fingers years ago, and was lucky to have a hand surgeon nearby that was able to reattach the tendons. It took a long tome to regain 90% of function, and about 70% feeling/circulation.

Get better soon, and make sure your thumb healing takes precedence over your pending taxidermy projects -- that's what freezers are for .

 

also hoping for a quick recovery!!! heres a good one for you!!!!went in my my shop late in the evening last year on my birthday to take something out of the freezer and tripped on a set of elk antlers!!!! fell backwards on them , and punctured my scrodum,,, screamed like a girl,, stupid huh!!! happy birthday to me.. chose not to post pictures GET WELL SOON

 

I recently talked to one of the local guys and he said he stabbed himself twice last year all the way to the handle on one of those small victrinox knives. Went to ER and luckily no internal damage.

 

Some folks should really look at their methods. 2 times in one year, same thing. Huh?

 

Here's due to a Dakota pro. That wasn't fun. At all.

 

I got ya all beat sorry

 

WHAT DID YOU DO???


I went to the ER saturday night, after sticking a scalpule an inch into my right forearm. No stitches, but boy did that swell up!

 

Wow I hope I never have to deal with any injuries you guys get.The worst I've had was poking my finger with a scalpel
