Warning! Mild Gore.

That Looks painful ...
I cut my ring finger on a saw 20 years ago, almost severed the connective tissue just beyond the knuckle 3 stitches if I recall and a half cast I had to wear for 3-6 weeks. I was bit by a ground hog when I was a kid right on my pointer finger just beyond the knuckle again. I had a habit of picking up wild animals and bringing them home...a hatchet cut on the other hand.
The one that worried me the most was when I was lifting an overhead door at a previous job and the top came off the tracks, came down and about knocked me out, lucky for me apparently I have a thick head lol

I also once drilled a hole in my ankle with the point of a spade bit while holding it in one hand and trying to step over something and when I swung my leg over it went straight into the ankle. Cut a portion of the tip of my pointer finger off on a bandsaw when a friend decided to push me when I was cutting something. Other than those most of my boo-boos are small, but I seem to get alot of the small ones. I guess I would rather have a few small ones than one really bad one. Knock on wood.

Did you find the nail.
Or is it a surprise left in a loaf[emoji39]
I found a fake nail in my food at a unnamed restaurant.
Called for the manager, and asked her to have the girl in the kitchen that the nail belonged to to pay for my dinner, that i was leaving.

Yes. Considering it was a fairly sizable chunk of fingernail, I didn't want to risk someone chomping down on it in their sandwich.

After patching myself up, I made sure to go back and look for it. "Not on the floor..." sure enough, it was still lodged firmly in the seam on the corner of the pan :dropjaw:. Grabbed some pliers & removed it from the pan, then stashed it in a secure location until the end of my shift. At which point, I took it home. My DNA, my chain of custody. And don't worry, the oven kills any germs that might have transferred from my hand to the outside of the pan.

Yow! Icaramba
Makes my eyes water just looking at it.

I know what it's like to have a fingernail ripped off, and it doesn't feel good. The months after while it grows out are a pain too. As I'm sure you know, that skin is tender and will be for days. Good thing is, in a couple months, you'll be as good as new.

Here's a boo boo I did at work last year. I was installing spindles on an exterior handrail. Got done using my 2" nails and switched to 1" to shoot in the spacer blocks in between the spindles. Well, there was 1 long nail left that I missed taking out, and sure as sh!t I shot it right through the hand rail and into my finger.

All flesh and fingernail so it healed nicely

Very nice! I showed this to my wife and got the desired response...

Broken femurs, broken & severed fingers, 3rd degree burns on leg, the list goes on.

I've had a few real good whacks to my shin recently. These were "above average" dings.

Dated Dec. 14, my most recent. (The healed one just above is the second most recent.)

Feels good to let the bone "breathe" from time to time...

Bedtime, a good time to grow a scab.

A night or two ago, the scab that I'd managed to leave alone was separating/peeling up on its own. So I carefully loosened & peeled it off, trying to leave the thin layer of tissue between it & the wound.

Still looks angry, but no signs of infection IMO. Might have a pic or two of the previous boo-boo, but I'll look for that tomorrow.

When I worked at the machine shop and ran WaterJet and Plasma tables there wasn't a day that I didn't get burned or get cut. EVERYDAY! I was constantly digging metal slivers and splinters from my body. Sliced up, burnt bruised, etc. I loved the job though. If I wasn't on the tables I was running a press brake, punch, or shear or welding my parts. It was constant on the go work and I loved it. Didn't get paid a ton and they treated everyone equally like crap and garbage, but it was a great learning experience.

Ya I,m Not Sure What Your Doing,,,,,,,,,, But Something Doesnt Appear To Be Working Real Well For You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Ty
