Finally recovered enough from the Memorial Day shop accident. I didn’t post about it, it ruined my entire weekend. At 8:30 Saturday morning I had a small accident with the rotary grinder I use, it jumped from my hand and managed to smack two fingers. Needless to say, it hurt. I’ve hit my hand with hammers with less pain than this caused. I ended up going to the doctor Sunday morning, no stitches, but middle finger has a small fracture at the very tip. I couldn’t work, write, type for a few days. Still keeping the middle finger covered so I don’t snag the fingernail on anything.
I warn you the first picture isnt for squeamish people. Last picture is a week later, and 1.5 weeks later it looks about the same still, a little better. Most of the soreness is gone, still a little tender under the nail.
Work resumed last weekend, at a slow rate, hope to be back to full speed this weekend.
