Oh Crap! Not again!

Closed the door????

Slammed the door????

Driving finger????

- looks very painful and I'm sure the current weather in Toowoomba would be making the tips tingle. Hope you get back to the shed soon.

...Driving finger????.....

For indicating.

HWMNBO simply took over cooking dinner, didn't say much, but I'm sure he kept an eagle eye on me. I was too busy freezing the finger under running cold water and away. He did ring me the next morning though, which was nice

He was probably too terrified to speak or in sympathetic pain. I know I'd be having a breakdown if I saw someone do that.

Bother bother and more bother. Look after yourself. That will heal well enough but be extra careful because your more likely to hurt yourself carrying an injury like that.

<sympathy>..

[RufflyRustic]

Lots of sympathy! Love it!

My own silly fault, as were the other two accidents. A finger stall is a very good idea.

It has kept me from washing the dishes, but it won't keep my out of the shed - priorities you know Lots of handsanding to do this weekend, so it should be ok - with a finger stall, that is

[Waldo]

Good to hear Ruffly, nothing should keep anyone from in they're shed (with some exceptions) it's the same as saying it's too cold to have a beer - piffel.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

A finger stall!? Is that what they're calling duct tape nowadays?

I've also found that dipping the fingertip in a latex glue works well once it's dried... until the end of the day and you realise you need to remove it.

[Simomatra]

Looks bad Wendy, been there done that so I know where you are coming from. Guess you need to rest up and get some TLC and a bit of liquid pain killer.

[RufflyRustic]

That's what I'm missing!!!! the liquid pain killer!!!
BRB!

[Ruddigar]

You peanut....

[Harry72]

Never mind Wendy... at least you didnt break a nail!

[RufflyRustic]

Hi Harry, I only broke the tip of the nail, not the nail bed, so was very lucky. I think my finger is going to have a new bump on it though

Wendy, please do remember that you are not invincible or you may have to start wearing boxing gloves to protect you fingers from yourself

[munruben]

You have to watch out for those doors Wendy, they sneak up on you when you least expect it. Hope you get full feeling back in your finger.

[damian]

I always keep a few bottles of single malt liquid pain killer on hand. Works a treat for coughs aswell.

Even if you can still feel pain you stop careing after a while

Unfortunately you can't administer prior to driving or operating machinery...

Hi Wendy,

What they all said. Ouch + Sympathy. Sympathy.

Was doing some renovating work for a work colleague once and the lady wanted to help, against my protests and with my concern. Well sure enough, heard a yelp and there was one finger sliced open and red stuff on the timber.

The point is, she would not go to get stiches, which I thought it needed and with just a bandage continued to work with it for a few days and by using it delayed the healing process. It kept pulling away from the cut. End result is a bump on her finger and recess scar at the cut line to this day. Doctor said it was because she kept using the finger.

So,.... perhaps a finger splint would be a good idea to keep your finger from moving, (unless that is what a stall is). Take care of yourself Wendy.

Hope it heals real quick.

Cheers,
Pops
