The Tuul Crib 7,336 #1 Posted December 24, 2019 Dang! Well things are going so good today with the work I'm doing on my deck behind my house. At one point I was pulling on a piece of wood the next point I was running in the house dripping everywhere and ended up having to go getting seven stitches on my finger in the right hand. Have been so careful not to step on anything sharp or leave any nails laying around on the ground but failed to see one in my way. Dang!! 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,559 #2 Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) Sorry to hear about this. It's easy to get injured when your working. I once drilled a hole in my finger with a 5/16" bit & didn't even notice it until I saw blood around my work area. Too intent on my job at the time I guess. Hope it heals up fast.

Yeah I'm sure it will heal quick ! I've been injured worse than this. Didn't seem to mind it too much . the nurse was kind of cute that sewed me up and she was really good at tying knots.Man we sure do stupid things! 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,155 #4 Posted December 25, 2019 Any time I come in the house with a rag wrapped around a bleeding appendage the wife just rolls her eyes and says "you don't have to get your money's wort out of Medicare that badly, do you?" Hope it heals up soon. 1 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luckily never had to have stitches.. There have been time where I probably should've, but electrical tape works pretty well. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,336 #8 Posted December 25, 2019 Oh yes I have used electrical tape myself. This one was a little past that. And yes I did have my tetanus shot ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 10,967 #10 Posted December 26, 2019 You also need to watch your head when working on Wheel Horse tractors on the garage floor ! Installing equipment on the frame when you have to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts on the frame etc can be injurious to your health! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I did appliances I would crawl under sinks to disconnect the dishwasher and would constantly knock my noggin! I thought about a hardhat but It would just get in the way!!

Pullstart 62,827 #12 Posted March 18, 2020 My buddy stopped over yesterday, told me about his “bump cap” insert for baseball caps. It seems like a great idea for any hat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeek 2,286 #13 Posted March 18, 2020 Bummer, injuries suck!
