Pullstart 62,834 #1 Posted June 26, 2020 So I was using the counterweight on the sickle mower to spot center on a new hole further away from the gear box, to keep Center. Well, the drill bit walked off the bar and through my glove, into my hand. Our new neighbor and my wife’s “brother from another mother” is an ex-fireman / paramedic. He has a nurses kit and his wife does surgical stuff too. All that said, there’s not enough flesh to stitch so he used a steri-needle to flush the wound and get antiseptic stuff deep down in there. I have a charity 18 hole golf outing tomorrow, that’s gonna be awesome! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 6,998 #5 Posted June 26, 2020 Ow! Reminds me of my sister in law's husband's. We worked on the line putting Buick Reattas together. He ended up being reassigned to another job because he ran the self drilling sheet metal screws into his hand too many times. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a charity 18 hole golf outing tomorrow, that’s gonna be awesome! “OUCH”. Many years ago I was fibreglassing a cowl on an rc aeroplane (airplane). The resin was in an aerosol cap, it had just started to cure and I tried to remove it with a screwdriver before it set completely. The screwdriver went through the resin, the plastic cap and my hand. I pulled it out and turned my hand over just in time to see a screwdriver shaped portion of skin shrink back. A trip to hospital resulted. The injury was in the exact same place as yours! The nurse told me this was the best? place on my hand for this to occur as it missed all major muscles/ tendons etc. It still hurt! I drove home with my left hand bandaged like a football. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly Jim, there was instant pain with 45 seconds or so... then the cold water from the faucet numbed my entire hand until it hurt from cold. The worst part through, the needle syringe blasting water and saline in to clean out the debris! It was like a pressure washer in the meat of my hand! Once we switched to sterile antiseptic stuff, it was soothing. There hasn’t been pain all the rest of the day. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,360 #13 Posted June 27, 2020 Some super glue and you'll be as good as new. Sorry to see this, but I've done similar types of things. Kinda goes with the trade. That’s kinda why I don't have tattoos, I have my battle scars 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if that doesn’t work rub some of his Orange ointment on it. It’s also a good fly repellent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maggot therapy Maggot therapy is a type of biotherapy involving the introduction of live, disinfected maggots (fly larvae) into the non-healing skin and soft tissue wound(s) of a human or animal for the purpose of cleaning out the necrotic (dead) tissue within a wound (debridement) and disinfection. There is evidence that maggot therapy may help with wound healing. Edited July 18, 2020 by bcgold 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bc.gold 3,403 #16 Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) pullstart Those are working mans paws and by the looks of them no stranger to pain, why bother with the gloves they only get in the way. Be like wearing a ribbed tickler. Edited July 18, 2020 by bcgold 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be like wearing a ribbed tickler. I do work my hands pretty hard and find myself wearing gloves off and on regularly. I am glad however they were on, they helped to bind up the drill bit and rip the drill from my right hand. It is healing quite well though 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyLittrell 3,877 #18 Posted July 20, 2020 As a 30+ year glass man, I can attest that something in duct tape has healing properties!! Looks like your healing up good! Randy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
