Snapshot Report post Posted April 20, 2010 I feel for you brother!. Those numbing shots are pure torture. I have had so many stitches in my hands, fingers, plus broken fingers to boot. I cringe every time I injure my hands. Nice thing is I always pull out my own stitches. It saves an extra trip to the Doc Heal up and get better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kilimanjaro Report post Posted April 20, 2010 Brent You of anyone are MORE than qualified to comment on injured digits! Share some your pics.. It'll make him forget the pain in his real quick! Those finger and hand injuries suck.. I've done my fair share of ER time from years in a taxidermy studio.. flesh and razor blades and grinders dont mix.

Those finger and hand injuries suck.. I've done my fair share of ER time from years in a taxidermy studio.. flesh and razor blades and grinders dont mix. High rpm woodworking machinery and power tools, plus complacency, equals human meat grinder. Someday I will tell you the story of how I went back into my shop the next day, and found that a mouse decided to collect and eat all the bone shavings that came off my thumb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After your wound closes and the stitches come out. Flex and stretch those fingers as much as possible, and use one of those soft foam exercise balls that you suqeeze with your hands. It helps alot to stretch the scar tissue and loosen muscles that were damaged by the trauma, and helps with the sensitive nerve endings. It worked wonders for me!

Snapshot Report post Posted April 21, 2010 UMM I'm a bit overdue for a new injury Fast healing and Brent is right about the ball. If you are overdue, I would suggest staying away from the power tools for awhile! And if you are going to shoot Lark, at least use some weaponry that will leave a lasting impression on him, would ya!
