It wasn't enough to just suck at playing guitar already

[zeegler]

Where's the damn pics?

[guitarsjb]

Sorry to hear G, glad you're ok. And yeah, where's the pics dammit!!

[destructin_od]

Sorry to hear that. Cutting a hand can be a bitch i know that really well. Hope you get better soon.

[bibz]

That sucks G, but on the plus side its pretty fuckin brutal! Also, chicks dig scars.

Reminds me of the time my friend's dad stabbed himself. He was helping us with a project by cutting a tennis ball in half. The knife slipped from the tennis ball and he stabbed himself in the thigh with the knife. A good inch of it was lodged in his thigh. He made a tourniquet and drove himself to the hospital, using his left foot on the pedals. Nasty stuff.

I almost lost a finger doing that...with a freshly sharpened Gerber
knife that I won as a safety bonus at work!

I still use that knife with a little more respect, but damn, what a stupid thing to do. Don't even ask why I was cutting into a tennis ball.

Is his name Professor Frahnkensteen?


G, glad you're okay - I shuddered when I read the actual part describing you geting the wound. "My hand smiling back at me" was a particularly good turn of phrase though, I must say! Hope it heals up fast!

You'll be wanking with the other hand for a while then...

Get well soon you Antipodean twit!

[Nuclear Vampire]

Crazy! I am super careful with my hands, but if come pretty close to doing major damage a few times. I used to be a glass cutter.

Hope your hand heals up quick dude.

[VitaminG]

thanks for the kind words, all. It's much appreciated. I know the injury isn't much compared to what some of you have endured over the years, but thought it might make for a good story. When the dude stitching me up ran through some tests to make sure everything was functioning properly, I knew it was just going to be a painful inconvenience for while.

...whats thsat Vitamin G junior? daddy fainted and cried like a baby?? He shouted for his mum??

hey! Actually, I was doing fine until I finally went in to get the hand seen to. The guy unwrapped my hand to check out the damage, and then had to duck out to check on another patient's xrays. I sat there for about 10 minutes with my hand bleeding slowly onto a surgical mat when I started to feel faint. "Hang on kids, dad's just going to put his head down for a second". I still maintain I didn't actually faint though.

I rode in my friends BJ from New Zealand the other day (that's a diesel landcruiser sickos) and it was funny as a passenger getting into the left hand door. A little unnerving on 65MPH highways with the driver away from traffic (as a passenger).

A friend of my mum's used to own a couple of cool early 60s Impalas, but they were both still left hand drive. So I get where you're coming from with the unnerving thing. I remember whizzing down the highway in the passenger seat thinking it's fine for him, I'm the one closest to the oncoming traffic & don't have a steering wheel to do anything about it

It's amazing how cool you can be under circumstances where you are leaking vital fluids. It's like your body knows you need to take care of business and focus on getting help.

Yea, it's like something tells you got a job to do so just get on with it - plenty of time for falling apart later.

You'll be wanking with the other hand for a while then...

Get well soon you Antipodean twit!

I did ask the wife for some help in the shower last night. On account of not being able to get my injured hand wet.....

[jackson1]

Ouch there, G! Glad it didn't go all wrong. I count 6 of them. Cool. I will never forgive you though, NOT taking pictures IMMEDIATELY after the cut and showing us BEFORE you went to the hospital!
