I'm some what... accident prone...... *thinks* what harm can come from shaving with straight razors? lol

Although, the older I'm getting the less accident prone i seem to be.

@ Deerhunter1995 I had my left index finger re attached when i was younger and its works fine, cut it off straight through the knuckle and i have an awesome scar from the cut and from the pin that held it back in place. You will be back at it in no time, and now you will have a story to tell!

Sorry to hear about your accident, and I wish you all the best. I don't know how comfortable you'd be with it, but it may be worthwhile to say what happened, what you may have done wrong, or what other circumstances caused the accident. This may help someone learn how to avoid a similar injury. In any event, wishing you a full recovery.

I am so sorry to hear about your misfortune!! You have may complete sympathy, I have had over the years[to many to name]more than my share of flying peice's of body parts!! Including a motorbike accident that almost took of my left leg, now THAT was a tib/fib gridn off to be proud of!! Took most of 2 years before I walked without a limp, but now some many years later, do one even notices, so I"m sure you'll come through fine, chin up and all that, keep good thoughts, helps the healing process.

Heal up quick, youll be fine I know!!

tinkersd of SRP

so has anyone else been thru this kinda sugery?? it would put my mind at ese to hear of somone that has healed up from this kinda sugery.

o spending a lot of time watching my home town little leagers up there reperesenting pa.(big crowds we are only 28 miles from willamsport where the ll series is)

How in the world did the grinder jump? Did you have it in a bind or something? I had my middle and ring finger removed at the first joint and had to have a bit of reconstructive surgery. Everything worked out fine, but the cold weather really hurts like the dickens. Once the cast is off, follow the therapist's advice and you should get the mobility back within reason. This happened to me a bit over 20 years ago...medicine has come a long ways, so you should recover quite well.

I agree with the therapist comment, they know what they are doing. It also helps if you work on your therapy as often as possible. I walked around squeezing a bean bag in my hand for a long, long time. Once healed, the more you use your injured hand, the faster it will strengthen and get back to normal or as close as possible. If I did not point it out, you would not know there was a problem with my hand.

Best of health to you.

My father-in-law all but cut off several of his fingers on a table saw. He now is as right as rain, his only lingering effect is a lack of feeling in the tip of one of the fingers.

Thanks for no gory pic. My F-i-L was not so discreet.

Good luck and quick healing to you.

i will be using the grinder as soon as the cast is off cant be afraid of the tool its not its fault u had an accident, i was cutting a piece for my truck,angle iron and the grinder dug in at an angle a nd jumped back i put my hand out to stop it from flying back at me and it got my hand, well thanks for the great suppot. i go tomarrow to get the stiches out and to start theropy. ill be back out working on my restoration of my 84 ford as soon as i can.

Haven't done that, but I have snapped a tendon in my hamstring. Took me over 3 months to be able to walk normally again.
