Project On Hold For At Least 3 Months

JSimmons · 07-10-2003, 02:59 PM

On Saturday, I managed to cut through about 3/8 inch of soft tissue, sliced through the tendons for all four fingers, and nicked the bone on my left wrist while working with a miter saw. I'm afraid my watercoling project is on hold for at least the next 3 months.

After a less-than-exciting ambulance ride, a brief stay in the ER to "tie off a bleeder", 2.5 hours in surgery sewing it all back together, and two days in the hospital, I'm doing fine.

That has to suck! Take it easy with that and let it heal up right (or as right as it can get).

Yikes!

Sounds like the miter saw got a hold of something, and kicked a piece back at you! Got any safety tips, for the rest of us fools?

Here's hoping you recover well, and soon. Joe and I will join in a beer for ya!

Safety tip:

Never operate a miter saw that is lower than waste high.

My duct stuff is completed but I can't a) use my left hand at all, and b) even if I could use it, the weirdo splint with it's wild assortment of pullies and wires is too damn big to do anything in the restricted confines of a computer case.

I thought that was what wives and/or kids were for! Can't think of any other use for 'em!?!

And what pHaestus said!
