  • Always unplug grinders.

    Went to change the disc on a grinder at work, didn't unplug it. The pictures speak for themselves. Been three weeks now, have the stitches out tomorrow. It;s driving me mad, can't work or work on my cars

            Yep, I did it all the time as well. Years ago I religiously unplugged stuff, but over time I got cocky for the sake of a couple of seconds. Never again.

                yup.
                you will be lucky getting good movement on that thumb. Hope it heals nicely.

                    I think I'm going to have to accept that it's never going to be 100%, However I still have movement of the second Knuckle. My thumb tip and nail bed feels numb. Looked like this a couple of days ago when I changed the dressing.

                        OUCH - makes my woes of today with allroad engine failure slightly less important - everything is relative. Man that had to hurt....

                          Ow that looks grisly. Any deeper and you would have lost the ability to express your approval properly with a universally recognised hand gesture.

                              Would have been so much worse if you'd gone through another few mm. Good luck with the recovery
