Out of Commission

[Earl]

So I am off work for a while.

I was scraping nonconforming mirrors and the last one shattered, cutting through the top of my right glove. I was taken by ambulance to Froedert. It ended up cutting through my tendon for my thumb tip and went fairly deep. I go into surgery Friday to get it all fixed up. I am doing good and will keep you guys updated=)

[Bassboy3313]

Oh damn man! That sounds horrible. Glad you are doing good tho. Hang in there and keep us posted.

[andyhundley]

Earl sent me this earlier! Gnarly!

[KaiserRolls]

^NOPE

did they say if reconnecting the tendon would be an issue?

[B C]

goshdang

also.

you spelled  "Out"  wrong

[Earl]

Damn it. Lol Left hand writting on my phone. The surgery should go very well. The hand surgeon said it will be simple. He said it will be about a 6-8 week recovery.

Thank you so much for the support guys=) I really appreciate it

[B C]

im guessing you need someone to polish your nuts for the next few weeks then?

[Earl]

Hopefully the girlfriend has that covered=)

[B C]

well, hope she knows the difference between scotchbrite and emery cloth then.

[Earl]

Hahahaha Make me a mechanical hand Brian=)

Ask about robot legs while you're there.

Sorry about your hand man! Hope your surgery goes well.

[YoungCR]

Feel better Earl!

[TehRaydarlover]

OUCH! at least it was a clean cut, should be an easy fix. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

[Boris3]

Nasty slice. Good to see that it didn't take off the thumb!!!

[Brian.]

Yum! That looks pretty good! Hope it goes well mang!

I hit the tendon in my pinky really good. Got bit by the shark!

This looks nice compared to what it was, it filleted my hand really bad. Resulting in lose of feeling in the area, but if I hit itjust right, it'll send shooting pain up my arm.

Did this changing an e36 rear wheel bearing.  Cut the outer race to get it out and when I hit it with a punch it shattered and a piece

 found my hand.

Looks like we are gonna have to make a gnarly BMW injury thread with an award of a blue red and purple heart award each year for the most gnarly.!
