About 15 years ago, while working at a auto shop, I was working on a car and had the jack slip out from under the car with my hand in it. Its kind of hard to explain how this happened but you soon realize exactly how heavy a car is and how fast it tends to fall to the floor.
Lopped off about a quarter of my thumb. I didnt even realize it. Thought all I did was cut myself, grabbed some hand towels and wrapped the sucker.
Wasnt until I soaked the towel that I realized something was dreadfully wrong.
Took an ambulance ride to the hospital, I most def. recommend the nitrous oxide they give you, you still are in pain but you just dont give a fuck. And if you have a female EMT you may tell her you want to marry her.
This wasnt the worst, mechanics tend to get there hands a little dirty, oh hell I mean greasy black shit that leaves a stain in your daughters underwear.
Well before they could do surgery, it had to be cleaned right?
In come the novocaine shots in the thumb, 4 to be exact, you dont know pain until you get that done.
And then we will send you to Xray so you can sit there for about 2 hours hoping you dont bleed to death and let the novocaine wear off.
Back to the ER, no bone damage:D time for a good scrubbing.
4 guys holding me down while they scrub my thumb, novocaine had worn off. One guy started, I reached over with my good hand grabbed him by the back of the hair and told him that "Hey motherfucker, I dont think that shit is working."
Yea they dont like it when you do stuff like that. In come 2 more guys to hold me down. And after me screaming like a rabid banshee comes a 3rd. Interesting how much the nerve endings in your fingers pick up.
The guy doing the scrubbing, he felt real bad, think I made him cry. I walked around with my arm in a sling and a bandage on my thumb that made it look like I was carrying a Mr. Microphone, "Hey good looking be back to pick you up later."
I have had skin grafts, but its still scarred but doesnt look too bad if I hold it just right it looks normal.
Still work on cars but knock on wood *knocks skull* havent had anything else happen like that.
Oh wait I did get hit by a car in the shop, but that is another story.
