Thumbs up

[tim_n]

Another great moot! Home 1am, hospital 8am, 2nd hospital by 9am. Out by 12, seeing plastic surgeon tomorrow around 12. So this moot currently gets three thumbs up! Steve if you can PM the pics I'll add them to the collection for a what not to do with a leatherman!

Hey, I hope you are OK Tim. I had to leave on Tuesday morning as my daughter had to go to hospital (she is on the mend now thankfully). Sorry I did not get a chance to see the death ray in action.

Take it easy buddy.

No worries mate, yes, we only used it the once on the first day! Doesn't matter, hope to bring it next year and have some sun to use it with

Been told that I was very lucky to be using such a sharp knife by the surgeon. Missed all the nerves, artery and the bone! Just flesh and a bit of nail injured. Few stitches and was out of theatre within 15 minutes

Glad to hear things are OK Tim
You had us worried there for a bit!
Be interested to see how it looks next year

 

[Cyclingrelf]

Glad it's not as bad as feared! In honour of next years monty python theme: you lucky lucky lucky #######!

 

[Earthgirl]

Really glad to hear you're ok

Tut!
Three good Steristrips and you could have stayed at the Moot!
Heal fast

 

[tim_n]

Apparently not needed stitches through the nail bed!

Otherwise I would have done!

 

[Tony]

we could have sorted that for you...

I was figuring you'd have your own in built root scraper for splitting and lashing....Umm, hope that makes sense

 

[tim_n]

Thumb now back to normal, minimal scaring!

 

[Buckshot]

Good to hear Tim
Lesson learnt I hope - and for anyone else reading this too. Learn through Tim's loss of blood and not your own!

 

[tim_n]

To be honest, the only thing I've learnt is to not use folding knives! The irony of just saying the words "I don't like folding knifes because the slightest mistake and you'll stick it through your hand" was never truer.

Don't talk whilst knifing things perhaps

Good to hear you made a good mend
