October 12, 200718 yr Working on building the top landing for the walkway I've posted pics of before, I smashed the crap out of my left index finger between a deadblow hammer and a piece of flagstone. I now know the meaning of "exquisite" pain.
October 13, 200718 yr OUCH! I've smashed myself with a hammer before (not by choice), but I'm sure that was much worse... I hope it heals quick!
October 13, 200718 yr Author Thanks for the good wishes, but I think this will be some time healing. I peeled up a large flap of skin from the tip of my finger to the first knuckle beside the nail. It bled a good bit. That sort of damage is hassle because it takes so long to heal. Right now it is throbbing in time with my pulse. My "to do" list suddenly looks longer.
October 13, 200718 yr I know that pain Camino. I've had my hand smashed with a hammer before. When I was a kid, my maternal grandmother once punished me for taking a chocolate chip cookie by taking a hammer and hitting my hand with it. It broke my hand in two places. I'll never forget that pain. I wish you a quick recovery. Keep it clean man and it will heal quickly.

October 13, 200718 yr Author Thanks guys. PCS: You want pics?!! It's nasty looking, I sure don't want pics. I'm dreading removing the bandage at this point.
October 13, 200718 yr Know what hurts more? Looking at that. Hope you heal up well enough to continue flipping off Tundras. It was your middle finger, right?

But have no fear, Tundras and their owners still get to know what I think of them. PCS: You are beginning to scare me.
