Well now you can use your other hand and pretend you are cheating on yourself...jk...get well soon...hopefully it's two weeks from f/t job and you keep on scrapping.

I took 6 stitches on my hand last summer. Finished working the day though, and went to work the next.

My dad cut his hand open today too, looked at it duct taped it and when back to breaking down an air compressor...btw he's 67 yrs old. My brother and I didn't know he cut himself until an hour later when we took a break.

My old man sliced off the tip of his finger. They sewed it back on, splinted it up, and he finished the drawer he was working on that same day. Unfortunately the tip of his finger didn't take back, and they had to go back in and remove it. His advice "Don't ever let anyone tell you, you don't use the tip of your index finger"

i know a guy who was working drunk, and cut his thumb at the first joint. his wife who was also drunk sewed it on backwards, not pretty. but it is still live.don't know how it did not get gangreen. moral: don't let your wife do drunken surgery, might be another one there also.

The old man is pretty tough, raised on a farm in cali, middle of nowhere in 50's and 60's. Real homemade first aid. Remember a story where my granddad got his thumb sliced off in a piece of farm equipt. Wrapped it up, went to vet and had him sew it back on. Luckily didnt lose the thumb but since nerves were all screwed up his sense of hot and cold was reversed. Use to freak us out when he could hold a match to his thumb and let it burn just before blistering and said it felt like it was in a bucket of ice.

I've got numerous cuts and scrapes on my hands. End of last week I managed to put a cut off wheel into my finger. Then I dropped a hot piece of slag on another finger. Seared/blistered up, then the scar fell off a few days later. Has a small crater on it.
Maybe I should be finding a nurse to marry.

Packing tape with the fiber threads is a key piece for my first aid kit. Tape up a piece of paper towel over a wound and -voila! - a man-daide that will last until you take it off.

Of course there is tetanus possibilities but that's up to the injured to worry about.

Some Walgreens have clinics in them that give tetanus shots - a good immunization to have when you work with metal and/or power tools.
Also, Idaho, make sure she's a real nurse - not every woman in a nurse's outfit is! Lol.

It does really suck when the metal bites back when your trying to make a buck.
