No building for awhile
Well, yesterday, I was all proud and feeling cheffy. Working on cutting up some salad for dinner.
As I keep my knives sharp, I proved it. Took about 1/4 of my left index finger, half of the nail and the nail bed right off. Quite messy. It wouldn't stop bleeding, my wife wanted me to go to the ER, but I didnt feel like waiting hours there, so off we went to the after hours clinic. Fortunately, there was no one there. I had forgotten how much silver nitrate burns when put on open wound! As there was alot of open surface area, I did give a loud guttural noise. So, it's maybe gonna be a few weeks before I get any building done. We'll see!

Holy smokes, sir! When I did something like that, I could do normal things in about a week, as long as I was careful. I should have been careful before I did it.
Heal quickly and avoid infections

Did something similar to my thumb back in the 1980's. Good size chunk of flesh/meat with thumb prints removed.
All I can say, "There are easier ways to remove finger prints!". Hope you can return to building soon. Mike

Ray,
Ouch!! That's scary. As I get older and lose a bit of dexterity, it becomes even scarier. It could happen to any of us. I also try to take more care in using my garage woodshop tools than I did when I was younger. I wish for you a quick recovery. Wayne

ooff! I bet you never felt a thing though Ray. Been there, done that. Took me six months to recover when I chopped the end of my left thumb off. Take care my friend and a speedy recovery.
