Drilling a piece of metal last night with a hand drill and dull bit. The bit broke and the old trigger finger impailed itself. Fortunately it missed the bone but it did sting a bit. File this under WECSOG.

Yeah...the drill bit chewed thru my nail bed (L to R) and pinned my thum to the material I was working on. It looked like my thumb exploded. The sucky part was, because my thumb was pinned, I had to back the drill out of the jig in order to release my thumb. I know what my bones look like now  up close and personal.The only word I could say for about 5 minutes was "FUCK!"...supervisor drove me to the ER...25 minutes later we arrive. My pants were covered in blood from me wiping my right hand on them. I would apply pressure to my left thumb to control the bleeding until my hads would get too slippery from the blood...then I would wipe my hands on my thighs.....I remeber I was wearing natural denim...which was a cream color. Christ it looked like I should have been half dead from all the blood on my pants! My supervisor almost passed out in the ER when he saw me that way.  Aside from a f'd up thumb nail, the only major dmage was it gets cold real easy, and I feel it tingle alot. |
