I was cutting boxes in the back and noticed an air vent in the 12' ceiling coming loose. Trying to fix it by pushing it back up IS NOT a good idea. The grate came crashing down and opened a nice gash, with the corner, on my left thumb. About 1/2"x1/4", and deep enough to see muscle tissue that it split.



Scared the hell out of a manager by how calm I was, and the Emergency ppl didn't think it bad because I WAS calm... until I showed it to them...



No stitches, but pressure tape things on it, holding the flesh together... I did a good enough job of fixing it up before I went in, thanks to my Emergency Firstaid training, specialized in: Cuts, Burns, Impalments.

It was all lined up for them...



So thanks to one hand open I can still use my knives, just not one on each side for at least a week or 2... damn...



We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare...

For a minute there, thought you were going to attribute your calmness to the fact you've been cut innumerable times by your Spdyies.

Just like an old-time gunman, I always protect my right hand. Certain ablution techniques I don't think I could do left handed.

I'm doing this all one handed... Left hand aches, no matter what I take for the pain, so I'm doing this all right handed... I'd rather hand my weak hand, with 25wpm typing, and really be a cripple though if I hurt my right hand...

Just have to wait for the flesh and muscle to heal, then rehab with spydies.

I believe we should all start practicing with our feet after viewing planet of the apes. But then marky mark could of used a couple of Civis.
