Make sure you do double check, since no one needs too many tools...

Maybe. Or it may have been sarcasm. ;-)

That's how I got a few of my expensive tools. I got a call, "Come

My shop is filled with such tools. I purely couldnt afford 25% of all

I have a bigger swamp. It covers a big part of Florida. Tourist go

And as someone who's vehemently against healthcare reform, and who has
time to waste in this newsgroup but doesn't have insurance, he
deserves to pay whatever they feel like billing him. Pay being a
relative term in his case. He might make payments on the repair of his
booboo, but if anything serious happens to him it will be on the
taxpayers' nickel, just like his hero Gunner.

No! No! You obviously do not understand. It was a wound; the skin was
damaged; blood was dripping. Prehaps without a visit to the emergency

Or he could have painted it with Iodine and put a bandaid on it :-)

Clinic he would have died.

Or he could have painted it with Iodine and put a bandaid on it :-)

Around here...we would have taken out a bottle of betadyne, irrigated
it really well, then irrigated it with betadene (dyne?) and then wipe
it externally dry, stick on 3 butterflies to draw it closed and then
a gauze pad over it with maybe..a wooden splint in the wrapping
securing the two fingers for a few days until the wound started
healing at the bottom and gets a good start. If you are in a
"infective" area...fill the hole with neosporin from the 99c store.

Check it in a day or two after that, wash it out again , betadyne it
again, wrap it with gauze for another couple days, check again, then
gauze it until the gauze falls off...or wear a good clean cotton glove
to keep it from banging into things too hard. Tylenol as needed.

If you keep the splint in there...the meat will grow tightly and the
hand will be so stiff for months..it will be nearly useless until you
work with it enough (and under great pain) to get additional meat to
fill out the pressure points.

May not be comfy for a while..but it works. Been there..done that many
times. Same with the wife, kid and critters. Critters I have to
shave and dont use betadyne or neosporin.

Or he could have put in some of his own stitches. Been there, done
that..but it is much better if you have a neighbor willing to sew.

If I didn't use my hands to make a living, I might have tried to
simply butterfly it, but the gap scared me. I saw tendons and the
synovial cap over my index finger joint as the saw was sliding off the
skin of my hand. It's no big deal on someone else, but it's scary when
you see your own insides. That generally indicates something is very
wrong, KWIM,V?

I've successfully butterflied deep meat wounds, but nothing where the
skin was floating, such as the skin over my hand.

Har! Hell, Gunner, you make more money than I do annually. I's a po

Oddly enough, I still haven't been contacted by their financial staff.
It'll be a scary moment, but it'll work into a low monthly payment.

Well, until I become rich and famous with the Green Monster...

You didn't read the description with the photo. That wound is over
five years old, and still not healed. It was caused by an incompetent VA
doctor. Both legs are covered with scar tissue, and the skin is so thin
that a bandaid will peel off what little there is left.

Yeah, I'm sure the palm of a working man's hand is much thicker and
tougher than the back. I'll have to remember to soak the wound for 20
minutes prior to stitching it up. Butterfly and dunk, as it were.

Good thread wander, BTW.


Too bad Usenet doesn't keep track of how many times someone is kill

Wouldn't that be nice?


Wandering-
Metal related banter: Well, I saw the inside of an ER yesterday (and
today.) A pristine (used) Chiwanese pruning saw blade decided to jump
the cut, careen off a hovering branch, and embed itself a foot away,
into the top of my left hand. I lucked out, though. The kitchen
faucet washed out all of the debris but I found that the skin was too
far open to butterfly properly and I bit the bullet and hit the
Immediate Care place. They wanted $192-298 just to walk in, plus
whatever a tetanus shot, irrigation kit, and suture kit cost, plus
$100/stitch, and they wanted it all RIGHT NOW!

The other option was the "make payments" route. It was a 6+ hour
ordeal, but I came out with 5 shiny new stitches, a slightly used
stainless trauma kit, and an unknown cost. (I guess they send Guido
over to negotiate with us non-rich folks. I dunno.)

I curse myself for not taking my chainsaw along or having gloves on.
Either would have precluded the accident. sigh

You paid to have that fixed???? Blink blink

If I didn't use my hands to make a living, I might have tried to
simply butterfly it, but the gap scared me. I saw tendons and the
synovial cap over my index finger joint as the saw was sliding off the
skin of my hand. It's no big deal on someone else, but it's scary when
you see your own insides. That generally indicates something is very
wrong, KWIM,V?
Been there..done that. My hands look like they have gone through a
grinder. I repair machinery in machine shops remember...sharp edges
and filed with razor sharp chips. The scars run up to my elbow. Its
rare that Im not bleeding somewhere..what with the blood thinners.

Shrug


I've successfully butterflied deep meat wounds, but nothing where the
skin was floating, such as the skin over my hand.

Practice makes perfect!



Must be nice to be rich.

Har! Hell, Gunner, you make more money than I do annually. I's a po
white chile.

Feeding 9 people are you?

No, I'm a bit smarter. g I hope at least some of you/them are
accepting foodstamps from the gov't. If not, go do it. Who do you
think you are, the gov't? Sheesh, taking in all those freeloaders...
REAL family takes on at least some of the load. You might mention it.

Feeding 9 people makes me remember Phoenix in 1972. I had rented a 4
bedroom section of a 12 room 1920s mansion on Adams. 3 families had
been living here, but when I moved in, I got 3 roommates. Anyway, the
lady with the family upstairs in back loved to cook and was receiving
the gov't "cheese" food boxes. The rest of us chipped in veggies and
meat, then she whipped up a lot of real nice home-cooked meals for us
with her butter, cheese, taters, and pastas. It worked out well for
all of us. Nowadays, a food stamp credit card covers a whole lot more
territory, practically anything edible, including really bad junk
food. If nothing else, you'd all eat like kings in your cramped
space.


Oddly enough, I still haven't been contacted by their financial staff.
It'll be a scary moment, but it'll work into a low monthly payment.

Well, until I become rich and famous with the Green Monster...

If I become rich..Idaho sounds like a nice place to live.

If it weren't so damned cold up there, I might agree and bump up and
over one state. But you've been down that frigid road, haven't you,
Ollie, livin' up north?

A couple things to consider:

1. Become a plumber.

Learn to love working in **** all day? Pass.


2: Stay out of those expensive places.

That's my first trip since my appendix at age 19, I think.

Count your blessings!!.

Oh, I most certainly do!


Nekked..I look like a patchwork doll with all the scar tissue.

My legs, hands, and arms do, too. And I have stitches over and
through both eyebrows from skydiving out of my crib as a wee lad.
I was the opposite of a cat. I landed on my head, every time.
(Yes, that could explain some things, couldn't it?)


Fortunately Im seldom nekked in the sun...so most of it blends in. Get
a tan going..and I look like a jigsaw puzzle.

But it gets the girls, right? "Oh, tell me about this one!" she
cries. "OK, afterward." you wisely reply.

It's typical of scar tissue. The wound closes, but with less layers
of skin. That's why that area is red, compared to the surrounding
flesh. The first pressure sore appeared at the site of an old wound
that had become infected and scarred while healing.

That's how I got a few of my expensive tools. I got a call, "Come

My shop is filled with such tools. I purely couldnt afford 25% of all
that I have, if I had to pay cash for them.

I'm having to come up with an inventory of the tool bag for an
insurance claim. "Cost?" Um ... it just showed up one day.

Check MSC and Ebay and quote it retail. They dont ask what you paid
for it..but only what its replacement cost is.

I plan to do something like that. But "where did I get this" was
part and parcel of any task.
As was "Do I have the whatsit for this, and if so, when/where did
I get it?"
Sigh ... them days are gone.
