And the dang thing is almost healed. Lots of therapy before it can be used again though . . . Thumb.jpg

Glad to see that you are on the mend. Hope you can get full use of it again.

Newbee - Router.

Me too Bill! So far I can flex it about a 1/4 inch.

Dang Barefoot, that must have hurt--I might have to trade you nick names- I tangled with a table saw and fileted my index finger once. Keep up the theropy and it'll get better sooner---Richard aka thumbs

Damn that must have been painful.......wish I could wave the magic wand and be healed quickly.

Glad to hear your healing up Thomas. I can't believe it has been 5 weeks. I still remember the chills that went up my spine as I read your post on the incident. Wishing you all the best and keep that rehab going.

Ouch !!!! Thomas I'll think about your thumb next time I'm using the router , hope that it heals good and fast !! Marshall

G'day Thomas,
You sure made a good job of that mate.

Just keep on working it, it'll get more flexible and after a while you'll forget that you ever buggered it up.

Glad it's on the mend.

I cut the tip of my thumb off when I was 15 on a table saw and it hurt for almost 2 years...

I've got a couple great pictures showing fishing hooks going through my fingers....

sorry to see you got hurt...
