What happened man? and can't they trim up the sides a little? ive seen several people who has had that happened and always wondered why the couldnt clean the sides up so there isnt any protruding. Hope you get better man

 

Clonetek, I hope You feel better soon! My Dad lost half his right thumb about 30 years ago, He got used to it quick. It was a little hard for him to give a "thumbs up" though. Why is Your u.n. Clonetek? Do You have the technology to clone a piece? sorry I know it's not funny I just had to ask. When I broke My leg I heard it all!! I hope You feel better Lightning quick! LS

 

Aww, man, that's your out-the-window signaling finger!

Hope you're feeling better soon.

thanks guys..
its still pretty swollen right now..
it'll look better in a couple of weeks. (i hope)

i work at a bag plant. i make dog food/kitty litter bags. if you buy "ol' roy" dog food from walmart, you've bought a bag from my plant.

clonetek refers to my computer building abilities dude..

if i couldnt handle a joke, i'd never have posted this thread. i'm cool with the jokes. LOL

yeah, i have been wondering how i can show my displeasure to other drivers now that i have lost part of my "signal" finger.
i guess i'll have to go buy a .50 cal desert eagle now..

 

Dude..
Sorry about "the finger". Hope you heal up soon.
You seem to be taking it very well. I'd freak out. You're a stronger man than I.
Get better soon and take care!!!!!!

hope you're getting workers comp for that. Ouch!

 

yeah, i'm gonna be getting workers comp for the accident($385 a week). that sucks! i was making around $900-$1000 a week, before the accident. thats a big cut into my "toy buying" budget. i cant buy anything for the Bolt for a while.

Brooks,

So will there be prizes if we find the bag with the rest of your paw in it? Kiddin. How's it feeling? Talk to Wheels about what to do with the L while you have one paw out of commission. He dislocated his shoulder and was in the same boat for a while. Much Love

Bummer Dude......I guess the safety awards are out the window. Hope ya feelin better quick!

 

safety award? what's that?
dont think we have those around our plant. LOL

 

Clonetek,
losing the tip of your finger sucks! I hope you feel better soon. I fly all around the country designing myoelectric arms for those unfortunate souls who have done more than just a little trimming. You are very lucky it wasn't a hell of alot worse. Glad to see you are upbeat about it. You're life will bet back to normal very soon. But do me a favor, don't lose any more!

 

Damn, I don't want to look at the pics, gives me the heebie jeebies just to think about it. Until you brought it up I forgot that I got the tip of my l. index finger chopped off many years ago, which shows how much I miss it. Only drawback I can think of is that I have to pick my nose with a different finger.
