PhishyBrewer Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) Work was pretty decent last night. Except until I smashed my ring finger between the fork truck I was driving and a railcar. Spent most of my night in the hospital with bones sticking out of my finger and meaty flesh hanging out. 2 broken bones and 7 stitches... yeah It's hard to type, so I'll end with a few pictures. They had to cut off my weeding band. So... it looks like I'm single again. Ladies, you can e-mail me at wally@phishybrewer.com Blood, blood everywhere! No... I'm not flicking you off. It was my ring finger. Edited November 16, 2005 by PhishyBrewer
FlyingScooter Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 OUCH! Hope they gave ya 'happy pills'! Hope you feel better soon, man.
disneygurlz2s Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 ^^ I am sure Karen might have something to say about that....... Sorry to hear about your injury. Hope it wasn't the finger you use to open a pop-top can Take care..... Shari
Coaster Palooza Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Sorry to hear that Wally. It looks painful. I'm glad to see you still have your sense of humor.
Teddymonster Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Wally, man...all I can say is "ouch" and I'm sorry that happened to you. Hope you have a quick recovery and I think I speak for everyone when I say we can understand if you make a few typos from here on out. Again, feel better!
SharkTums Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Wow I'm impressed! Our bloodiest Photo TR yet! Sorry about your finger, do you at least get workers comp or anything???
PhishyBrewer Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 ^Actually... they kicked me off of midnigts and put me on days. There going to have me write SOP's(Standard Operating Pocedures) one hand and all till my hand heals. So it's not all that bad. I might rewrap my finger later today. And if I do, I'll take a picture of the stitches and meat.
bobpuppet Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I had a similar injury a few years ago I know how painful it can be. Heal up fast Wally.
shesaidboom Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Ouch! Can't wait to see the pictures of the stitches...I mean, I hope it heals quickly.
Hattuchili Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Ooh, that sounds really bad, Wally. I hope you feel better, soon! --Sören "My hospital PTR was not so bloody" Schomburg
smells_like_team_disney Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Oh man, that sucks. The same thing happened to my dad about a year ago. His entire thumb was crushed while operating some heavy machinery. Luckily, it healed with no problems and it was back to work in a few months. Stay strong and hope you feel better.
Scaparri Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Sweet jeebus that sounds intense. That really sucks Wally. Well, now you have a fun story to tell! No, seriously though, take it easy bud and get better.
Wackyboxer Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I can definently feel your pain on this one Wally. When I was a combat medic in the army I was attached to a mortar platoon and a hatch (on one of their APC's) that weighed about 400 pounds got slammed on my left index finger. Anyway, I really hope it heals quickly. I wouldn't want this to interfere with your training for the Olympic Beer Drinking Team!
FlyingScooter Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 hey Wally, can I PhotoShop the pic of the finger cast and sign it/repost it? It could be the first cyber cast signing in history!
coasters 4 me Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Ouch!! That sounds nasty. I hope your ok! Hope it get better soon.
BiCoastal Kid Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Spent most of my night in the hospital with bones sticking out of my finger and meaty flesh hanging out. A description of that wasn't necessary, thank you.
SLUSHIE Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Thats kinda what happened to me. Only it was on my right hand and was completly severed in a door. People mistook me for flipping them off all the time, it got old really fast.
robbalvey Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Wow. I sorta feel responsible. I think I told you something like "try not to die" as you left for work last night. I WAS JOKING!!!!!!! Geez....when are people going to learn not to take me so seriously! --Robb "Hope you feel better, man." Alvey
PhishyBrewer Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 hey Wally, can I PhotoShop the pic of the finger cast and sign it/repost it? It could be the first cyber cast signing in history! Sure! Thanks for all the nice notes. Makes me feel all good inside... or is that the happy drugs the doctor gave me :?
