John You turned the sky dark here across the pond, wondered what it was. Heard the thunder also.

Loctite and masking tape !

 

[Melvyn Best]

“Idiot rash” , I have had a few .

 

[minimutly]

I'm amazed you don't get more tbh, the way you stop your lathe then run your thumb around freshly cut steel makes me cringe....
Hope your new job is going well?

@doubleboost they always say "don't put your fingers where you wouldn't put your dick"

Come on Woody, at our average age the only place the latter goes is inside undercrackers, only emerging to point at the porcelain. How on earth is a man supposed to work under your suggested limitations?

Pruning chainsaw a week or so ago:

Wrapped with some cotton wool soaked in colloidal silver, washed with some of me own golden liquor (urine) the next day. Would have used cider vinegar but that tends to heal stuff too quickly, so only ever use it if the wound is completely clean otherwise it heals over the muck. No doctors, no hospitals, very little pain (except when I knocked it the following day getting angle iron out of the car).

I think in the UK you have to have a training certificate to buy a single handed chainsaw. Here you can just pick em off the shelf at the DIY centre.

Anyway, now there is only a tiny scab left to heal.

Ye Gods, we're back investigating John's fingernails again.

I'm getting worried about you lot.

We need a 'Get Well Soon' emoji for general use and another dedicated to John.

Loctite and masking tape !

Regular industrial Loctite is the worst thing possible for a wound, especially if the wound is dirty. When it develops an infection, there's nowhere for it to go. Look up "sepsis" because if you don't tend to a wound correctly or worse still, attend to it badly, it could cost you a limb.

I know how that feels, I put mine in a flypress, had to have it surgically repaired and some of the bone removed, well worth going to A&E to get it x rayed and cleaned up properly.

Why?
Ouch makes me cringe thinking about it!

Still cringing at the thought of that

A sore fingers a sore thing ,,,,

But a sore thing isnt a sore finger.

 

[slim_boy_fat]

@doubleboost That's going to be a source of "Ouch, ya Bast*rd" for some time.
Every time something comes against it, the flesh will be desperate to divorce itself from the nail.

I believe old-fashioned black masking tape is good for helping cuts etc heal.

This was two weeks after surgery, the nail was removed, nail bed repaired and the nail temporarily glued / sewn back on as a splint, what you cant see is the cut down the pad of the thumb where they removed the shattered bone, it looks quite normal now but the nerves are damaged and its quite numb most of the time but sometimes for some reason is quite uncomfortable.

 

[doubleboost]

Mine feels much better now

 

[rtcosic]

Mine feels much better now

Are we permitted to speculate on the quantity and quality of alcohol required to reach that euphoric state?

 

[Screwdriver]

Mine feels much better now

I would give that a "thumbs up" but under the circumstances...

 

[pawsnizzy]

Mine feels much better now

I should think so too
