You think THAT hurts ..... try hitting it AGAIN! :eek::smile::biggrin:

Built a house for a guy many years ago and he helped. He pounded his thumb hard! ..... but it was the NEXT time he hit it a few days later that REALLY hurt! :eek:
 
I was loading fence posts for a new horse pasture into the front end loader on the tractor and one of the posts fell from the pile and i got my thumb smashed between the post and the steel edge of the loader. It happened around 9am today and it hurts just as bad now as it did when it first happened. I had leather gloves on so that helped a lil bit. Had some xrays and theres a crack at the joint just below the nail. Not much can be done about it, keep it in the splint. I just can't really use my right hand and it's my dominant hand. I have zero coordination with my left.
 
Hang in there. Had a similar issue once, wasn't any fun for sure. Happened similar to yours.

If you need me to come over and do the castings for you, let me know. You give the directions and I'll pour the stuff, deal?:wink:
I promise to forget everything I learn before I leave. :biggrin:
 
I've lost my right thumbnail twice. One to a car door, one to a Mongoose scooter. The scooter accident was the worst. Never saw a doctor, just know both times it REALLY hurt.

You guys crack me up!! LOL!

Get better Jonathon. Like I said before, you will feel better faster than you think. Just take a few days and don't use it. That is the best thing for it!

Take care!!
 
ewwww, that sucks, i was wondering what you were trying to tell me earlier this morning when i sent that text, it was all jacked up!:biggrin:]

Hope it gets better soon!
 
Sorry to hear about your mishap! KInda gives "CASTing" a new meaning! On the other hand it gives the other guys a chance at the contest!

Hope your heal quickly!
 
I feel your pain. I mashed my left index finger a few years ago...with a hammer. Hope you recover sooner than I did.

Johathan,

Sorry to hear of the accident. I can sure sympathize with you as some thing similar happen to my right hand little finger. It got smashed with a 2 X 4, multiple fractures and really messed up the nerve endings. Hope yours heals better than mine and you are up and at them real quiick.

Hurts just as much now(?)...Wait until tomorrow! :eek:
Take care and don't let it happen again!
It hurts me just thinking about it!!

Jonathon, as bad as your thumb looks, the wrist looks much worse. Here's hoping the splotch is in the photo only.s Now is the time to learn to turn left handed. See there, I found you a silver lining! How about them apples?
This is the funniest post I have seen here in a while.

I don't feel your pain and don't want to. Been there done that! MANY times :rolleyes:
Try wearing those stupid metal splints on four fingers :eek: Thankfully it was my left hand but every time I bumped it, it hurt like hell. 32yrs in maintenance in a cast iron foundry taught one one thing. If you're hitting something with one hand and holding it with another, You ARE going to eventually get hit.

There's one thing about it........you won't be sticking that up your nose for a while :biggrin:

Seriously, take it easy and keep it elevated.
 
Sorry to see that you are hurting and I hope you have a speedy recovery.

I also think you should take some time off and get away for a while. You are all set for some hitchhiking!!!:good:

 
J,
You are my long lost twin.. Last Sunday=Garage Door+middle finger=3 hrs in ER with a broken joint. I got me a Robo-finger just like you. Nice job.
 
Even the pictures you take of your thumb are high quality... geez! :smile:

Hope you're better by next Saturday so you can still do the demo! :biggrin:
 
Brooks get well soon....


I woulda swore you were putting a thumb in someones eye when it happened...LOL....

I hope you are still able to dejewel and bedazzle next weekend!
 
There is only one solution, when a horse breaks it's leg they bring it to a glue factory... So I get dibs on first batch of CA Glue. (or would it be a gallon of resin?)

Wait, let me break your pinky finger, then you will forget about the pain in your thumb! (Major Payne reference).
