Had a slight accident today guys  :-[ I put my hand through a glass door in my flat  :'(

I was pretty lucky, there are a couple of nasty gashes in my wrist that are DEEP and one that was only 1mm from my main artery :o

 :o hope you're ok. It remembers me when I cut 2 of my fingers 'til the bone this winter at work, not very serious but impressive !

what's going on dude  ::) ::)

If I have some pictures of when I cut my fingers off and had my hand degloved I will post them.
Stealth67 was there, he drove me to the hospital it was an interesting night, so i know what you are going through, hope it heals allright.

Yep it looked like a hand full of spaghetti with bones mixed in. 5000 PSI hydraulic machine vise verses a human hand is no match. It's kinda funny you have to shave your finger after the skin grafts from your butt. Do your fingers smell like ass too?  ;D Your sister was such a selfish bitch that night. "I can't believe I have to drive him to surgery tomorrow"  >:(

Working machine shops I have witnessed this too many times, probably 15 times total in the past 14 years. Last month a guy I work with started polishing an aluminum part on a polishing wheel. It got too hot so he put on a glove, HUGE mistake. The wheel grabbed his glove and the cloth polishing wheel cut him to the bone. He had to have tendon reconstructive surgery on 3 tendons on his right hand. I watched the whole thing. Masturbation will never feel the same to him again.  ;D

The first thing they tell you in a machine shop is no gloves and no jewlery.
I remember one time I was running a bridgeport mill and a sales rep came out to tell me I was doing something wrong.
He got a little too close to the HSS bit and his tie got caught and pulled his face in. I calmly turned it off and handed him a rag to wipe the blood off his face. I am soooo happy I fish for a living now  ::)

Kind of reminds of the time Allen Moyer was cutting some parts on the Nichols Twin Mill and Raquel from HR was giving a tour to some workers comp insurance people. A clamp broke and flung pieces of carbide and aluminum all over the place just as they walked by. I laughed my ass off.  ;D

Ha hahaha I think I remember that.
Man we have some funny memorys from that place.

Ouch, that doesn't look like fun. Hope it heals quickly.

Thanks guys BUT it looks like I'm gonna have to have an operation on Friday  :o ::) The doctor said today that he would like a Surgeon to look a little deeper to make sure I have not damaged any tendions - I have to be fully knocked out which should be fun  ;) :)

I think it will all be ok as I seem to be able to move all my fingers etc (and type ;))

Oh well wait and see I guess  :)

Hey man wounds heal and Chick's dig scares  ;) :) should be a good one about 3 maybe 4 inches long  :o :)

shame its your monkey shaker!

If he is lucky he'll have some nerve damage and it will feel like someone else is doing the shaking. ;D

Well I've had an operation to repair my tendons and I have another 4 weeks off work  ::)
