Had a little accident on Monday.

[GFDuke]

Don't try this at home. Yea it freakin hurts. The plastic surgeon has re attached it. I've got a 50/50 chance it will take. No golf this summer. Looks like more benching time will be had instead.

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

I almost tossed my cookies man!
Hope it heals dude!!!!

[GFDuke]

I just finished power washing the side of this house and I was walking around swinging the shuttuers back in place and latching them. There was a hole in a iron grate that covers a cellar window that is below the grade of the land. The shutter bracket is shaped like a sideways reverse S. So when I started falling through the grate I put my hand up to stop myself, got my thumb caught and my weight was just too much I guess. It all happened so fast .

[Kal-EL]

OH MY F"N GOSH!

That fricken sucks man, really, what kinda perfect storm bullshit is that to happen to a person. Of all the damned things. Wish you a speedy and painless recovery Gerry. FFS stupid grate. Ugh.

Cool pic tho I guess. :S

[kikicoco1334]

HOLY HELL DUDE! actually not sure what you did there but my dad had something like this about a year ago. and it freaking sucked! it didn't completely come off but he turned WHITE!

[GFDuke]

OH MY F"N GOSH!

Thanks bud. Ur right the perfect storm bs. What are the chances.

[Mr.Scott]

Holy F**K dude. I hope you're ok.

Good thing you're not a piano player.

[Witchdoctor]

holy shit bro, that sucks

Hope the doctors can get it fixed up for you.

My prayers are with ya man ...

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

Prayers are with the doctor too!

[GFDuke]

Holy F**K dude. I hope you're ok.

Good thing you're not a piano player.

I am. Not for a while now though. Either way. No matter what you do, losing your thumb is not good. I am actually in the construction business. Mainly painting and wallpapering. Brings some truth to the saying, "one arm paperhanger".

[kikicoco1334]

dang dude! hope you recovery soon!

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

they put it back on?

By the way, who is this member? lol!:ohcrap:

[GFDuke]

Yea they put it back on. I'll know on Monday if the re-attachment took.

[Witchdoctor]

Good luck buddy, We are all pulling for you ...... :)

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

You in a cast, how the immobilize it?

[GFDuke]

yup.

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

Looks like an astronauts hand in space, hope it gets better man!

[Kal-EL]

Hang in there bud, my partner got the tops blown off his index, thumb and ring fingers a few years back by a shotgun wielding meth head. Fingers never grew back but he still working and making due. He's got a weird handshake and we call him Claw now. (non-gun hand).

:good:

[GFDuke]

Thanks Kal. That must have sucked. At least I have a chance. No chance at all with the shotgun blowing them off. :ohcrap:

[GFDuke]

Well bad news a the docs guys. It didn't take. So now I have to make a decision by Monday. Cut if off down to the next knuckle. Or, let them use my big toe and attach that to my thumb. They do this often. But it means about a year of down time. I think I'm gonna let them hack it off.

[Witchdoctor]

Man, That sucks, Both options blow

[GFDuke]

On top of it I'm allergic to the fuking antibiotics. WTF!!!!! Someone end me plz!!!

[Mr.Scott]

Hang in there buddy.
FWIW, if I had your choices, I'd vote off too. Either way blows. Wishing nothing but the best bro.

[GFDuke]

Thanks bud

[Witchdoctor]

Damm, WTF

What can they give you to fight off infection if no Antibotics ???

[kikicoco1334]

dang bro this really sucks! sorry to hear man. wish you the best!

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

Damn man, I had a friend who lost his finger cause of his wedding rind. It got infected they had to remove everything to his shoulder.
Tuff choice man, Hopping for the BEST!!!

[Kal-EL]

Down to second knuckle or first?
Second knuckle should leave you with alot more grabbing capability. First knuckles gonna make things a little harder.

Sporting a big toe on the hand, not feelin it. I vote hack with option of prosthetic glove that adds a lil nub so you can grab stuff like beer cans, ln2 bottles etc.

For the life wtf is with the anti-anti biotics! Sigh, hang in there bud, life...its looney.

[GFDuke]

First Kal.

[Kal-EL]

First Kal.
