Earl Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 So I am off work for a while. I was scraping nonconforming mirrors and the last one shattered, cutting through the top of my right glove. I was taken by ambulance to Froedert. It ended up cutting through my tendon for my thumb tip and went fairly deep. I go into surgery Friday to get it all fixed up. I am doing good and will keep you guys updated=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Damn it. Lol Left hand writting on my phone. The surgery should go very well. The hand surgeon said it will be simple. He said it will be about a 6-8 week recovery. Thank you so much for the support guys=) I really appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris3 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Nasty slice. Good to see that it didn't take off the thumb!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yum! That looks pretty good! Hope it goes well mang! I hit the tendon in my pinky really good. Got bit by the shark! This looks nice compared to what it was, it filleted my hand really bad. Resulting in lose of feeling in the area, but if I hit itjust right, it'll send shooting pain up my arm.

jc43089 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Did this changing an e36 rear wheel bearing. Cut the outer race to get it out and when I hit it with a punch it shattered and a piece found my hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
