busted up both my thumbs, which one is worse?
« on: May 18, 2014, 09:55:20 PM »
So I jacked up both of my thumbs, the right one last year on may 20. This year on may 16, I did the left one in.  One I smashed when the 8 foot crow bar I was using slipped and hit a piece of 1/2 plate steel on a piece of farm equipment. This year I introduced one to the blade on the table saw. Yes, I was using push sticks, it still happened, long story. Anyway, which one looks worse? Which one ya think got the saw and which one the crow bar?

Top one  got the saw.

I did my third distal phalange  on my right hand a month ago. (the one next to the f-you finger. Had some stupid idea that if I spun the wheels on a car it with it in drive it would help drain a bit of extra fluid out of the torque converter. ( Doesn't work.)  Got my finger through the alloy spokes and spun it into the brake caliper. No bloody mess, but the whole nail is now black and will fall off. Worse than any door slamming or hammering I ever did.

I don't care which was involved in each accident but it just makes me hurt looking at 'em. Get them healed up!

They both looked painful to me.  Heal well and soon.

 I abused my digits with a circular saw, jointer and latest was drill bit through the pinky - with pulsing blood spray as a result.  It changed my already bad handwriting too.

All of these hurt like war wound when my hands get cold.
