    Well, at least no one can rightly accuse you of being "all thumbs" any more. :smoke:

    Getting "pinched" never cost so much, huh?

    Heal well, my friend!

    That sucks, sorry to hear it. Things can take a turn for the worse really quick, and of course always when you least expect it. A couple seasons ago, I nearly got my thumb caught between the splitter and the wood, fortunately I was quick enough to be able to back off on the lever. It was sore for a few days, could've been much worse. Hang in there!

    Sorry Brad

    No skin graft needed but he did have to slice and sew. Very cool doctor with SOH and personality. The scar will be added to the others on my hands. Fourth time for stitches and all on my hands.
    Although Ms. buZZsaw did try to sew my lips shut! :zip: :rofl: :lol:

    We've both got rounds to split and between us we have a good pair of hands. We'll sledge and wedge. You hold the wedge with your good hand and ill one arm swing the sledge with mine. No worries Mike...i have good aim...most of the time! :D

    UPDATE: called plastic surgeon (hospitals words) this morning and had me come right in. Turns out to be an orthapedist. Few shots of anesthetic, a few slices and stitches and i was good to go. Have a return trip the 29th. IMG_0871.JPG Better pic of the guilty split. IMG_0870.JPG
