    Back at the scene of Fridays debacle. The white hats are scurrying around everywhere. It would be nice if they just got out of the way and let us work.

    You know how it goes, hit it on something all day. It's healing but I think I cracked the bone as well. Thanks for asking.

    I was doing good right up until I saw the stitch through the nail. :tears:

    You will feel that for the next few days/weeks for sure. Assuming you are right-handed, at least it's your left. I raked the side of my right thumb across a bolt thread a couple weeks ago, and while I didn't need stitches (considered some super glue though! ;)), it remained tender for until the last day or so. It's more than minorly inconvenient when your thumb on the dominant hand is Out-Of-Service. :thumbs:

    ETA: You're supposed to get your apprentice to hold whatever it is you're hitting. :rofl: :lol::D

    That's about it! I was helping my neighbor last week with his tractor and he dropped the third arm on it. Said a few choice words over that.

    I hear ya. I don't think dexterity will be a problem but it's numb and probably gonna stay that way. Then again that may not be a problem.
