    The real fun begins the next project where you need to drive a bunch of nails. I shortened my left thumb decades ago and it is still special when I miss hitting a nail.

    Gonna try doing a small roof job this week. The gripping discomfort has subsided more. Oh and trust me ive hit that finger countless times with a hammer.

    Damm Brad, sorry to hear about your incident.

    Does that mean you haven't been able to have sex now for a couple months too? Or did you have to resort to the "stranger"?

    Just hearing about the accident brad. Looks to be healing nicely. Sounds like you kept somewhat busy doing what you could through your recovery so far. What’s been your workaround for your phone...just one thumb? Happy to hear you’re on the mend:thumbs::pain:

    Have kept busy wooding mostly stacking and splitting. Started out with just a top handle, the rear handled saw a couple weeks ago.

    Dont have a smart phone...hate the dang things. Cheapo flip phone here. $15 month. Had an iphone years back and dont recall how i used it.

    Thanks for the well wishes! :handshake:

    Oh, and my new nickname is 10% off!

    Sheesh, sorry to hear bout this, hope for good healing. This steers me to not splitting any gnarly stuff, as I am way ahead.

    Six months ago today. Healed up. Nail grew back for the most part. Numbness (thinking this will be permanent) with callous like thick skin. Tender if i bump it. Dexterity not the same. 1/4" shorter than my right thumb. Can't pick my nose with it anymore! :headbang::rofl: :lol: IMG_1841.JPG IMG_1842.JPG IMG_1843.JPG Be careful with your hydros and all OPE hoarders.

    Butt, the important question is can you still go to the movies??? (Are you able to pick out your seat?) :D :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol: :p

    I guess this successful recovery and healing means no more thumb jokes??? I'm sure I can come up with some if needed..... :smoke:


    Glad all is well once again brother!:thumbs:

    Be careful with using your thumbs in your nose......may end up looking like this!
