I was trying to squeeze a small empty tuna can into a big empty tomatoe can. At first it wouldn’t fit, so I applied a little (too much) pressure. The can suddenly shot in and my hands still pressing downwards were suddenly and pretty violently introduced to the edges of the tomatoe can. Those aren’t sharp but with enough force, one who is proficient in self destruction, can cut up his hands pretty fucking deep.
Left hand only got a small cut but it was deep enough that the surgeon wanted to stitch it.
Right hand looked pretty gross and wouldn’t stop bleeding (probably cut a vein, he said). That one got a few more stitches.
No loss of feeling or movement in any of my fingers but right hand is pretty fucked to use.
Thanks. Well the surgeon said after three days I should be able to do all the things. I am a little dubious about that tbh. The threads are going to be removed in twelve days. May own plan is to chill for a week and then see where my hand is at and if I can train again.
F’cks sake K, those cans are pretty sharp.
A few weeks ago I managed to give myself a tiny cut myself on one of those cans. Not needing any attention. I can truly understand what happened at your place.
I hope you’ll recover quickly K.
@mortdk thanks man, yeah those cans are motherfuckers!
@guineapig actually two. One happened originally when I passed out briefly on a farmer’s pick (injured my lower back) and the other was a pretty intense (but after physio treatment) short injury of my SI joints.
From what I’ve read so far you had it far worse than I.
I try not to overthink it. I don’t think I’m scared per se but I’d certainly like to avoid an injury like that in the future.
The SI thing I am not scared anymore. I’ve injured that area a few times already (although not as bad as last time) but given how quick the rehab for that was, I know I’ll be fine.
Also as the days goes on I realize more and more how unlucky it is to have two fucked hands. The left is pretty useable but the right one is trashed in terms of gripping stuff and so on. Day to day stuff is weird when you’re right handed and have to rely on your left hand for nearly everything, all while the left hand is also kinda fucked
While it is best not to hurt yourself at all, if you are going to hurt yourself, it’s best to do it in a) a not-too-serious way and b) a hilarious way.
Haha no, not even carrying a fixed blade is legal here. So basically no knive besides a swiss army knive.
I hear Americans are very delicate about their guns, so I should probably not state my opinion on the matter all to drastically. Which I can’t. So I won’t state it at all, haha
Well I guess Murica is the way to go then . You wouldn’t want to be caught in posession of that kind of stuff around here. Especially if it has Nazi symbols on it. That would probably be worse than having deadly weapons in the eyes of the law and overwheimg majority of public opinion.
