Lost the tip of my trigger finger last night (graphic pic)

[Audie Murphy]

So last night I got my rubber work glove stuck in a conveyor belt and it started to work my hand into the drive mechanism. Had to rip my hand away so that it would not all get mangled. Ended up losing up to the first joint of my trigger finger and mangled part of my pinky and ring finger.

You're not supposed to do that.

Hope you're o.k.

 

[mom45]

Ouch! Is that your trigger finger???

 

[Tnichols00]

ouch!! I did that to my thumb in a bike chain when I was 2 but since I was so young they were able to reattach it.

Is that your trigger finger?

 

[Audie Murphy]

Yup, it is my trigger finger.

Assume those are selfies. You are a tough hombre. Worked in factories for 30+ years. Saw many such injuries. Still makes my knees weak. Good luck with rehab. Middle finger works well on most firearms.

BGDave, they are pics that he took just before the ortho surgeon went to work.

speaking of using the middle finger.. point shooting would be great.. assuming the index finger can extend straight enough down the side of the firearm.

Ouch! I hope they gave you a nice block with a long-acting numbing agent. Did a hand surgeon see you that night, or are you following up for a formal stump revision?

Glad you are ok. That two seam fastball just turned into a one seam wobbler. Do tell, which took more restraint, the incident on site or the needle probing at the hospital?

Supposed to call ONE and schedule a follow up

Audie just took a pain pill and went back to bed.

Got a left handed holster I'll sell ya!!! Glad your ok, good luck and keep the other digits healthy!

 

[cubbetm]

Ouch! Glad you didn't lose more. I never wore gloves around any machinery for this reason. I've seen too many people hurt. I hope you have a speedy recovery and are able to get full use of your hand back!

 

[Hoosier8]

Now you've gone and done it. You just added to the companies injury rate!

Make sure it happens before thanksgiving! Also, no smoking if you smoke.

He does Doc, I told him not to smoke already because of how it will effect the healing but he is so stubborn that he probably will.

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Oh crap! Hope you feel better. Hope it heals well.

Slap it outta his mouth!

Glad you weren't hurt worse which it could have been easily.

My dad lost a finger to the first knuckle on a table saw at work. He was well compensated. Maybe you can get a few new guns with some of the money.

We hope so too.
