Thread: Irony at its greatest

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hopefully you will regain full use of your thumb.

Expect a slow recovery and lots of physio.

As for the award, I am sure that unfortunately there will be other contenders.

Might have to change your name to Thumbler

In all seriousness though, speedy recovery.

Hope everything comes good and you get full movement.

All the best and a speedy revovery, as others have said. Your not alone - there’s a picture of me somewhere on this forum with similar bandaging after I fed my hand into a router.

Bugger!
This will certainly slow you down. Hope you recover and get back in to the workshop without too much pain and inconvenience.
Posts like this will make all of us a little bit wary next time we use a saw of some description.

Thanks for posting and wishing you a speedy recovery.

This was the tame version, for the gore lovers, this R rated version is in the safety forum.

thank you.

Thank you all for your kind words.

at least this isn't typed by someone else - and you can still wipe your own ar-e. That would have been *horrible*

That looks like the left hand. Small consolation, but I hope you are right hand dominant and have a speedy recovery.

Yes, it would be a mess. I'm right handed luckily.

Best of luck for a quick recovery

Macquarie Street hand unit? They are good people there. I injured my hand earlier this year and the recovery is very slow, I had some xrays last week and some of the fractures have still not healed and that was from an accident in May.


This is meant as a bit of a heads up for all Sydney woodworkers, there are several specialist hand units in Sydney, the main one is Macquarie Street but I think there is one at Westmead and possibly one more somewhere else. If you have a hand injury and have to call an ambulance insist on being taken straight to one of the above as all a normal hospital will do is wrap it up and tell you to go to one of the specialist hand units.

The hand specialist at Hornsby hospital is excellent. Reconnected tendons, bones etc. when I fed my hand through the router.

Hope it all comes good soon. Also very pleased to hear that the hand unit at Hornsby is good. It's my nearest public hospital. Hope I don't need to use them, though.

Fumbler, would you care to tell us how it happened, when you feel up to it, please?
