The Whacked Thumb photos (pic heavy)

[Shambling Shaman]

So some time ago I whacked my thumb, so I thought I would track its recovery.

1st photo after the whacking

Was familia with the hot paper clip method, but went with the small drill bit method to ease the pressure, thanks JAG009.

Damage coursed by snagging on glove lining ( ouch )

Some TLC and trimming to stop it caching it on stuff

On the road to recovery

So to all that whack there thumbs, there it hope

My last whacking was of my big toe,went to grab a 3 pack of Old peculiar off the top shelf of a supermarket,pack came apart in my hands one bottle fell 6ft on to my big toe(i was wearing light weight slip on trainers at the time) i stood there grinding my teeth for 5 mins for the pain to ease,walked out,once back at car checked toe to find nail split in half and a rather bloody sock,lost the nail,my oh my did it smart at the time,at least i didnt need to do the pressure relief bit like you did though,mine to made a good recovery like yours.

Best thing you can do is the paper clip or drill bit, good one. Bloody painful innit, no matter how many times you do it it never gets better. The snagging picture is what makes me feel funny as I've had that happen myself. It's grown back a treat. Beauty...

Snagging the nail with the glove liner was the worst, queasy is the word,

Reading this was kind of like eating twiglets.
I know i dont want to do it, but i do never the less and cannot stop until the end
