Strut10 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Went to do a tiny glass job on the hull of my boat last evening. The lid of the resin can was stuck on. Got it off with channel locks and there was a plug of hardened glass in the neck of the can. So I started digging/prying at it with a screwdriver. Then the side tore out of the neck and rolled a triangle of metal out and around. (Who can't see what's coming next??? Evidently I couldn't) I started to dig at the hardened glass again and the screwdriver slipped, sending the backs of my right ring and pinkie fingers right across the torn out metal flap. I left a better bloodtrail from the carport to the back door than some of the deer I've shot. The Mrs. wrapped them and off to the E.R. I go. 7 stitches in the middle finger and 5 on the pinkie. Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohiobucks Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I saw the title and immediately thought you must have gotten a scope cut between the eyes from shooting those magnums...... Hope it heals for you Don. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 pics? You didn't want to see the "before", I guarantee it. Kinda wasn't thinking of making it into a Kodak moment at that point anyhow. May get a shot of them here when the Mrs. changes the bandages.

Rhino Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Dang Don...you were lucky you didn't cut any tendons. The only good news I see there is you didn't mess with a trigger finger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
