brickman Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 hey raiders well i must be the most foolish person on this site about a month ago i cut the last nuckle on my middle finger gust alittle nick on a sharp edge of some steel it felt like an electrice shock not a cut and i anstantly looked for a cut 240 lead and only relised i was cut with blood flow it healed and was all good but a little stiff untill last sat wilst on the site it sarted to burn and swell exrays on sunday found a fb loged in the bone so off to rns on monday admitted and operated on on monday night shit loads off antibiotics injections and anuther op on wenensday to make shore it was looking good and they stiched me up and home today the pills i'm taking make me half cut so excuse the extra bad spelling the moral off this story is let the hospital clean your cuts no matter how small or miner they seem after 30 years in the trade this cut seemed minor but inreality it was a bad cut lodging a steel frgment in the bone and cutting 1 off 2 tendons so in hindsight i should have had it looked at when it happend and isent my daughter letting me know about it now[she wonted me to have it looked at when it happened] just thought i would share my mis adventure with you all and let it be a warning that doctors are there for a good reason and i'm not bullet proof just stupid cherrs stupid gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Cam Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 That's bad luck Gary! A good bit of advice though as you do become complacent at times. Hopefully it dosn't hold you back too long from Cheer, Cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braddles Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 totally agree with you gary hope your okay now mate. little cuts can turn serious. One late night i was really dumb and tired fishing for jewies off thel wharf.... i was playing around with my braid and i had it wrapped around my finger... (20lb).... yeah... i got a run and the braid tore through my finger at a lighting fast speed but it was only minor.... Went to work the next day (building fences) must have got some dirt in the wound.... a week went by and my finger was the size of a golf ball... I went to hospital and had some blood tests and ended up having "golden staph" and was in hospital for 2 weeks with some heavy antibiotics, risk of loosing my finger.... All good now thankfully except a nice scar. Since ive been infected with golden staph ive got to always use benadine or dettol, which i use frequently Bloody hooks!!! Brad!
