Thanks I'll be alright, still have my fingers(most of them)
i'm pissed at myself but i will heal
bad accident with the tips of both middle fingers hitting my 5 hp 18" powermatic surface thickness planer. i stopped planing for a few minutes shutting down dust collector and planer then went back and only turned on the dust collector and cleared the chips out , i have a door flapper where it meets the top of planer. i had headphones on and must have forgot i turned the planer back on, went to swish away some more chips and it happened in an instance, lost both middle fingernails and broke both fingers. lucky it was not worse. the right hand is worse as it is a compound fracture and needs more surgery i imagine. going back to B I on monday to assess. the emergency room in boston called in a hand doc and he stitched what he could, we left there yesterday morning, home now
melissa is taking good care of me. i dont need pain killers, just keeping them elevated.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I’m having a hard time imagining how that story leaves you capable to type it! Hope you feel better quickly, things that involve fingers get scary real very quickly... you start to realize how much you take them for granted

Ugh so sorry Slip and hope you heal fast without too much or any surgery. I felt your "mad at myself" pain back in March when I busted my arm up. You said "lucky it wasn;t worse" so you already know to be thankful, don't beat yourself up over the accident, it does you no good. think of all the people you know who have done the same action with far worse outcome (I'm sure there's some!) and count your blessings! Our thoughts and prayers are with you for speedy recovery! |
