!@$# that hurt

[Calhoun Farm]

Was worming some steers yesterday, one lunged forward and my finger got caught between the headgate handle and a support post. Broken bone at the tip, nail had to be removed, 7 stitches and hurts like a SOB

Spent two hrs in ER getting poked and prodded on. Happened so fast I didn't have time to move my hand,

OUCH! Been there and done that... painful for sure! :yuck:

 

[Hook]

Been there too. Got a picture of mine floating around on the site somewhere

Glad you went to the hospital. Way to many folks wait a day or two.

I didn't have a choice, at first I thought the end of my finger was gone. :cry2:

 

[skyhightree1]

Ouch.. I hope that heals quick

The first few day are painful. After that you'll want to rip that finger brace thing off. But if you bang the tip on anything for up to a month, you'll know it and jump 10 feet in the air like a cat.

Rub some dirt on it and git back in there :mrgreen:

I don't think 'ouch' is adequate when that happens ! :help:

I hope it heals quickly for you .

The above picture was from Monday night, here's what it looks like today.

Glad you didn't lose it. The more you bang it on things the faster it will de-sensitize so don't favor it to much if you can stand not to.

Sends a chill down my back just to see it.....

I'm getting some bad memories just looking at the picture. Hope it gets to feeling better soon.

When I was a kid I saw a man lose his finger at the first joint pulling out bleeders while dehorning. He got his hand between a heifer's head and the top bar of the head gate. My dad left me behind to look for his finger. What I found looked like it had been run through a meat grinder.

 

[Jogeephus]

Ouch. Hope it heals well.

 

[highgrit]

Makes my stomach hurt, hope you get it healed up fast.

 

[Calhoun Farm]

Thanks guys.

Dang that looks painful. Hope it's on your left hand and hope you're right handed or it's gonna be a tuff couple of weeks.

Oh man! That does look painful! I can't even imagine the throbbing you must feel in it!
