Someone [censored] with my table saw at work over the weekend. The blade had some broken teeth. Well. I went with and the blade kicked the material back and I got my thumb down to the bone. I wrapped it in paper towels and masking tape and drove myself to the ER. Pain level was a 3 outta 10. Then, almost an hour later it was time to see it for the first time. The paper towels had dried into the meat. Removing the mechanics bandage made it a5-6 outta 10. Then the needles! OMG!!! Wow was all I could say. My wife said she had never seen me cringe like I did. Maybe a solid 8 outta 10 on that part.

Could only stitch a couple of chuncks closed. The rest is a mesh patch.





I think I’ll buy a fresh blade tomorrow.

Yikes!!!

Ouch

Ouch glad it was not worse!

Damn it!!! Glad you didn't do anymore damage than you did.

Reminded me of when I cut meat and this lady wanted me to cut up a femur bone into smaller pieces for her small dog. I told her 'No' at first but she convinced me to do it anyway. I was cutting it when the blade caught the bone (bad section on the blade) and it kicked my hand into the saw blade and cut me to the bone. I picked up the bone and threw it at the wall while saying some of the same words you probably yelled out. The lady had this shocked look on her face and ran out of the store and we never saw her back in the market after that.

As for the pain, wait until tonight and get back with us.

(Sorry, couldn't resist)

Me too. It really doesn’t seem that bad. But, doc said I’ll think differently in a while. Lots of blood.


That’s what said to my wife and the nurses. One of the nurses had sleeve tattoos. I told her I was glad it isn’t as painful as her tats were. She said she’d rather get another tat than the 2” needle I was about to get. She was correct.

First hurdle is too a be a basic life skill. Taking a wiz and buttoning up the shorts and the belt afterwards.

that lidocaine aint no joke! But sure eases the discomfort or washing it thoroughly with saline and then sewing it up.

Get the wife to do it or tell her your girlfriend will.

Man I hate when people *&*%$ with my tools! That's gonna be nasty hurtful the next few days. Wait until the meds wear off. Sorry that happened man.

Double Dang. Is that your lip rippin thumb?

well at least it wasn't the top of your head.

about 8pm is when the good times will start, all that pain med stuff will be gone and then the hurt happens.

shot myself 3 times with 16 gun nails, twice with regular nails and the last one was gal. ring shank in the left thumb.
dr. grabbed a pr. of pliers and just did the herky jerky on it, pulled it right out. gave me a couple of shots of the cain first and
when that stuff wore off I almost wanted to cry it hurt so bad. nail had gone thru the bone then bent.

Yeh. If you look close u can see the bass thumb from yesterday. Lol
