Always unplug grinders.

[K Simmonds]

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.

Erugh that's sick, I keep telling my bro to unplug the grinder before changing the disc...never does though!

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

Ah Grim, that will make me think twice

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.

Meant to attach these.

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

[Nuvo]

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

[Le S2 Audi]

OUCH!!!!

Hope it heals soon!!

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