I was cutting the heads off of some screws with a hacksaw today. The saw jumped off the screw head but didn't miss my thumb.

Cut to the knuckle bone and nicked the tendon. The picture was taken just before the inevitable lidocaine shot in the middle of the cut....OUCH, GRRRRR!!!! After a 2 hour wait and 5 stitches later I went out the door. I wanted to leave after 90 minutes and tape it up myself but the wife wasn't having any of that.
That poor thumb has had a hard life. Split in 1/2 from tip into the first joint with a table saw, sliced with knives, pounded with a 20 oz framing hammer, slammed in a meat cooler door and now this. Poor ole thumb.

Looks like 5 stiches would do the trick.....lol!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Well, you know what they say. Scars are life's tattoos with better stories.
Of course whoever said that never smacked their thumb with a framing hammer on a winter's day!

Ouch....I am always amazed at you guys who take a picture of those sorts of things before heading off to get them sewed back up. Not me, man, I would be out the door pronto.  Some guys are just tougher than I am.  :rolleyes:   Glad it was no worse.
The years accumulate on old friendships like tree rings, during which time a kind of unspoken care and loyalty accrue between men.

Bummer! Let's hope it heals quick. By the way, does your chick dig scars?

That picture was taken in the exam room after a 2 hour wait for the doc to sew me up.

You should have just stapled it back in place.  You do know that Chicks dig scars, right.   :D

Duc tape, no home is complete without medical grade duc tape.
Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.
