Well as of yesterday I have now been allocated the joyous position being off work for 6 weeks with my left hand trussed up in about 2kgs of bandage crazy

All because I decided to cut through the tendons in my ring and little finger instead of the beef joint that was going to provide a tasty filler for an intended late night snack rolleyes.

It wasn't very painful but now that i've had my surgery and it's all stitched up and immobile,it's giving me no end of grief...Is this normal?

I had plans to remove/refurb my headlights and refit with angel eyes and HID's as well as remove/refurb the 'B' pillars with my original 8 days off (continental shifts).Well,obviously thats not going to happen now... evil

So does anyone have any suggestions as to how to keep myself entertained/busy?




****Well following last Thursday's surgery to re-attach my tendons and artery,I went to the 'dressing clinic' today to have the cast and bandages removed and replaced with a thermoplastic splint and began my physio...So whilst it was all exposed I thought I'd take a piccy for those of us that have a morbid curiosity tongue ****

Im sorry gutted to here its cut short your time working on your coupe, Id give you a hand but your to far away.
I suppose you could do with a none manual hobby to slice though the boardom :Cry:

Sorry! had to
You are probably going to feel a bit more pain over the next few days as every thing starts to heal, make sure you have got good pain killers to take the edge off it.

To a speedy recovery thumb

I'll bet you're shit at golf? Slicing left, right and centre? laugh

It will hurt like a little sod for a while, then as the pain eases it'll get itchy too. Don't know how your hand will feel though! laugh

How was the sandwich? What? Oh come on people, get your priorities straight here (unlike his fingers! laugh )......did you have tomato sauce with it? laugh

Well that and the fact that the dress you were wearing at the time of the incident was sooo 1970's! tongue

Anyway, that's the whole point of owning a woman, she should be making the snacks! wink
