Man, thanks for all the feedback, I wasnt sure how this thread was going to go.
Responces, in no particular order,
I took the pic only after an EMT walked by and said "Wow, thats cool, can I take a pic?" So I let him, and thought it was a good idea, so did it myself. Took my three tries tho...
After they pulled it out I thought the smae thing about putting a barbell in the holes, but doing construction it prolly wouldnt work out
It completely missed the bone in the pointer, and scraped the bone in my middle finger, so I got lucky there. I here fingertip bones never heal right.
It happend almost 2 weeks ago, and I still have minimal sensation in my fingertips, so I may never fully heal. Ill try to find my camera (my wife had it last.....) to show the end result. It looks damn good for what happened, you really cant tell.
I was kinda in shock, I was a litle dizzy, had no color, and was running around screaming. Very much like a cartoon now that I think of it. The funny thing is that I even started swearing in spanish. Luckly we had a cooler full of drinks and ice right there, so I grabbed the biggest hunk I saw, and held on to it untill I got to the hospital, so by then my hand was pretty numb.
Thanks again for the positive remarks, they definatly made me feel better.
Ill ckeck in again once I get my camera.
