Rhino would be proud

[Hoosierdood]

I was opening up some packages this afternoon with my Kershaw Blur which I had just sharpened the previous day. Apparently 2020 wanted to get one last jab in and seized the opportunity. I’ve been carrying a pocket knife since I was 8 years old, you would think I would know to get my thumb out of the way when closing my knife.

So I spent much of New Year’s Eve in urgent care getting stitched up. Six stitches and a sore thumb later, and I’m ready for 2020 to be over. Who knew that they could actually thread the stitches right through the finger nail?

Ouch. Glad it wasn’t worse. Now you have a permanent scar to remind you what a **** show 2020 was. Nothing a little liquid medicine won’t take your mind off of

Since it was you and not me, I say worth the price of admission just to see the stitches through the nail.

Glad to see it wasn't any worse!

The skin under the nail is so sensitive I bet that hurt more than the cut itself. I would’ve told them I’ll just super glue it if they’re gonna pop a needle thru my nail

I was going to super glue it but my wife made me go to urgent care. When I told the doc that I was going to super glue it he came unglued (haha). He lectured me for a good 5 minutes about why I should never super glue a cut.

You've got funky looking thumbs


Glad it wasn't any worse, bet those stiches through the nail felt funky

When that fingernail grows isn’t it going to cause just a tad bit of pain??

Is it because then he doesn't get paid?

Wonder why. I’ve heard some say super gluing a cut was becoming common practice. Location of the cut maybe? Hope they numbed you up good, that would be horrible without meds. Being your right thumb, if you’re right handed, is going to be painful for a bit too. Most common used “finger”... best wishes man hope it heals quick

Wow, I didn't know that ! Sorry that it bit you on New Year's Eve, dood. It's awesome that you still have a sense of humor about it, and chose to commemorate Rhino (I miss that guy).

Happy 2021, Rhino,. Wherever you are!

Not here,

Whatever happened to our favorite self sadistic pachyderm?

 

[BR8818]

Ouch, did the blade go under the nail? Soon as they said stitches through the nail I would've said I'm good pass me the glue.

 

[04FXSTS]

I have used super glue and am still alive, seems like I heard somewhere that doctors sometimes use it.
Contacted Rhino a while back and he is doing well, working what sounds like a good and long term job. Hope things go well for him. Jim.

Two hernia operations, 7 years apart, they glued both incisions together. Zero stitches, both healed fine.

I've done it. Several times. Its not fun.

Drove my wife's Jeep to pick up Chinese food tonight. It's a manual trans, and the shifter is real close to the dash. Nailed my thumb 3 or 4 times while shifting gears.

Owie! Good way to learn a new language. Dr. say anything about putting something over the sewing for protection?

No, he just said to put ointment on it to keep it from drying and cracking. I've been trying to cover it with gauze and tape periodically throughout the day. will probably just get a large bandaid to put over it.
