Lopped off part of my finger

I actually feel pretty good for what happened. Up in Peoria at my sisters and am out of the hospital and headed to her house to spend the night Just feel so stupid. Could have been worse .At least it's my left hand.

Yowch! Glad it wasn't any worse. Amazing how quick stuff like that can happen. Assembly hazards and pinch hazards are everywhere it seems.

So sorry to hear this Pat. Seems like the most innocuous, simple tasks are what gets us. Praying for quick healing. God Bless.

Sorry to hear it, as others have said, its always the routine, that catches ya!

Sorry about your accident Pat. I cut the end of my thumb on a table saw years ago. Barely nicked the bone the doctor said. It healed over nicely and looks normal, but I have no sensitivity on the tip of my thumb. That little thing still bothers me today. You will miss that finger, but you can live without it.

Look on the bright side, think of all the fun you're going to have freaking people out by making them think you have your whole finger up your nose lol!

Bummer Pat. Good luck healing and hopefully no lingering issues other than the obvious. Had many close calls myself, but so far I’m still all here.

Oh man, Pat. You're freaking me out. My stomach is churning looking at that picture and thinking about the pain. I lost about a quarter inch off of my pinky finger when I was about 14 years old. Haven't missed it much. Darrel

OMG, just dawned on Me, We must ALL be Related as clumsy and dangerous to ourselves are we!!!

You'll be fine as long as you only have to count to 19 3/4. You could tell people you cut the end off because your "I told you" finger was a little to devistating

Darn, Pat! Sorry to hear about your losing part of your finger. Hope it heals up fast with no long lasting problems. Don't feel stupid about it, it is the fault of the poorly written instructions that didn't warn you about keeping your hand away from that spot when assembling. 

Next time you see one of those, if there's a sticker there that says "pinch point" you can lay claim to it

Hey Pat, if scars and missing body material is a sign of stupidity....I'm dumber than a box of rocks! There is a certain amount of risk just getting up in the morning! What doesn't kill us makes us wiser and stronger
I wish you well my friend, praying that you heal well and quickly.

Merry Christmas

Sorry to hear about your accident, hope it heals quick.  I darn near did that once on an overnight job, about 11pm I was unloading a mechanical lift out of the van and it managed to grab my index finger.  Broke my finger in three pieces at the base of the nail.  I went inside and was taking my glove off when the manager gal asked what she could do.  Not knowing what I was going to see I told her that if the end of my finger rolls out when I take my glove off keep track of it for me if you could.  She mumbled something about men and left.

Nother auction story, One guy in the hood, here, blew off 2-1/2 fingers, on his right hand, when he was a kid(held onta a blastin cap, too long, after it was lit!).  Fast forward about 60-70 years, He and annudder neighbor was standin beside him, at the sale.  somebody bid a dollar on an item, and his buddy holds up the other guys hand, and shouts 2 anna half!  Botha them and most that saw it were laughin so hard, the auctioneer hadda start over!
