In case yall didn't know Anthony had him a lil accident. Seeing it might be kinda embarrasing he didn't post it on here. Well I can't just let this one slide. So he had a famous I stuck my hand under the lawnmower incident and cut off the tip of one of his fingers. I guess they got him all fixed up but it hurts like heck.

Sorry buddy, just had too.

Been thinking about ya though, maybe Ill be able to whoop up on ya this weekend since your handi capped.

Ha Ha.... I'm doing alot better today. I didn't have to take any pain killers today.

I just got finished changing the bandage and took some pics If you guys want to see.

No thanks, I just ate. Hope it wasn't the sensitive trigger finger.

It is pretty nasty looking.

PM sent

Sorry to hear about your fingers bud. That aint good.

Lets see pics

Man, that sucks Anthony! Hope you feel better and good thing it wasn't your crappie thumb!

Yeah, let's see pics!

Pics. Slow fishing report day

Post pics.

Ya gotta show the pics. It will make you feel better.

What you were mowing Brian's lawn?...hehehe

Sorry to hear little buddy.. Hope the pain will fade and the thump will arise..(crappie thumps that is)

I told him it was a right of passage. When you become a man you have a couple things that have to happen to you. Some can't be talked about on here but one is definatly the "Look at me I just put my self in the hospitol out of pure stupidity"!

I might need him to take me to Bebrook so I can see what all this mess is about.

Here it is.....






And this what it looked like the day it happened and before the stitches....

If you wish we will go.

Yikes!!

That sucks man. I cut the tip of my middle finger off with chef's knife before. Not fun.

Brian, you definitely need to hit up Benbrook. If I can find fish there you can for sure! LOL!

Just rub some dirt on it.

An incident like that on my left index finger while removing a car
alarm from my old '91 Camaro. Damn razor knife slipped and tried
to fillet my index finger. I grabbed my finger quick when I saw the
blade go in and said "Honey, can yah get me a roll of paper towels
and go away so you don't panic when I release the pressure off this
cut?"

I let it go.. not a single drop of blood. I was surprised.. so I
dropped my hands to walk back inside and get a lil' bandaid. Turns
out gravity fixed the lack of blood issue. Three stitches and six
months till I could make a proper chord on my guitar again.

If you do happen to play guitar as well.. viva las power-chords
yo! heh

Dang Anthony, be careful glad thats all it did!

Fishinaholic, that brings back bad memories. When I was in 4th grade, I had a kid kick a 3' X 7' solid wood school door on my hand. I cut the same finger as you did just at the base of the nail. Cut all the way to the bone and chipped the bone. Took four stiches and I still have the scars.

About 20 years ago I was mowing a side yard that had a about a 3 foot rise and I was pushing the mower up and down. I let it come back a bit too far and hit my left foot. Lucky for me I was wearing hiking boots. It cut a 3" diameter hole in the top of that boot and got my big toe. Cut it to the bone also. Surprising the shock must have took over because I didn't feel a thing until I got to the ER. I felt a lot of pain when they were using that needle to deaden my big toe. Hurt much worse than the lawn mower did.

Dang that hurt! Hey Anthony, don't let anyone tell you to hold the sparkplug while they try to pull start a lawnmower. I did that one once.

WOW!! be more careful.
I hope it heals up OK.



(at least it wasn't the "booger pickin' fanger")

Everybody in OT says "pee on it"

OOO MAANN thats mest up... I did the same thing with an airsoft gun. We were have a war and I had a pistol. I tried to [censored] it back but my finger got caught and the slider thing went forward and it all went down hill from there!!

I did that also about 7-8 years ago. But on my it cut the whole end off mine, bad enough I was looking for the rest of my finger.
My wife asked where the rest of my finger was and I told her that I guess since it was a mulching blade so it was bird food.


fish,
It will heal just fine, and also so it will get a real thick clear coat that will cover the wound, My recommendation is to let that clear coat stay on there. I guess its like a protective layer the body does.

hope all goes well

Sure make you feel stupid i know the voice of experence here i stuck my hand under a lawn mower 30 years ago and removed my right index finger at the knuckle they reattatched what was left. Just be glad you just caught the tip.

What?WHY??

It makes me feel better now that I know I wasn't the only person this happened to.

Dont look so bad but Im sure it hurt like HE77!

I was expecting something "better".

I did the best I could Chicken Man.

all in all, not too bad there, Anthony. Better you than me, but that sucker could SO MUCH worse! s it is, it shouldn't hamper your crappie fishin too much.

You lucky son-of-gun! Everyone knows that chicks dig scars.


PS: Doesn't anyone else but me on this post still have all ten fingers intact?

Just remember no matter how hard you try you aint stopping that mower blade.

In the history of mankind, there have been two constants:

1. the supremacy of God
2. the perpetual stupidity of man.

no one active on this forum is #1, and every one of us has done a dozen stupid things. If your stupid thing just cost a little skin, then you're lucky. Remember, chicks dig scars. And someday, you can tell your grandkids about how you got that scar defending a troop of girl scouts from an angry grizzly bear in SW Montana.

Oh! man that is just a scratch. I was so stupid that I cut two of my fingers off on a table saw.

Doug

You don't have to censor yourself when you are telling someone you "cocked" a pistol.

Man that sucks. One of my friends did the exact same thing except he lost about half of both his ring and pinky fingers. Now we all call him nubs.

My daughter was mowing her yard got to the fence steped backwards fell pulled the lawnmower on her foot cut her big toe almost off shes lucky she can still wear flip flops. If thats the wourst thing that happens to you you'll be ok.

Put a big wrap on it for the first day of school so all the chicks will feel sorry for you!

As my dad would say, "I've had worse spots on my eye, now get to work."

hang in there anthony- time cures all

I dont remember doing that though???

Ah, it's just a flesh wound! An October/November trip to the brickyard with me will test it to see if it's fully healed!

Don't look that bad anthony. I got a van door slammed on my right ring finger back in February. My pain killer? a trip to Hickory Creek for about 100 crappie!

Rudy

That is my type of pain killer.

You guys holler at me when you head to he ole Benbrook

OUCH!
Hope you start feeling better!

looks like there was a blade are something under that mower, just kidding, that looks like it hurts. wont slow your fishing i bet.

Lots of potential for a much worse injury, good thing it wasn't too bad (you weren't defeating the safety-switch on the mower were you? where you let go of the handle it is supposed to stop the engine?)

Now you just have to come up with a better story for your injury, like you were trying to lip the world-record crappie when he bit you, or it was a piranha-crappie hybrid, or something

Sorry about the little incident Anthony. Gonna have to change your nickname now. Hope it heals ok. aka: Kid Krappie aka: Stumpy

Anthony,

I hope you get better soon!

Safety Tip: next time take off the spark plug wire before sticking your hand under the mower
