Hammer + Left thumb = Broken Thumb

 

[erasmussen]

I have hit my left thumb so many times it thinks I hate it.
But thats the worst case of carpenters thumb I have ever seen.
Hope it gets better quickly, so you can go back to making sawdust.

 

[D L Ames]

OUCH........I hope your thumb heals up quickly. Hopefully you broke it with just one whack.....if not then you would be a slow learner.:lol:

[DaveO]

Ouch!!!!! You're supposed to move your thumb before striking with the hammer :lol: What were you hammering that you had to hit so hard to break bones :eusa_thin Hope you heal soon :icon_thum

[cskipper]

Oh my! Hope you heal quickly!

 

[Monty]

Hehehe.... that's why God gave us brad nailers and screw drivers!!! :lol:


On the brighter side, looks like you're splinted in the proper position to maintain a good grip on a cold brewski... :icon_thum

Yikes, Ouch, :crybaby2:

I was installing a floor in my moms attic. The light was dim, but I still could see okay. I didn't learn with the first whack, so, I did it again! When I told the ER doc that I worked for Mr. Handyman here in Charlotte, I became the laughing stock for the night. LOL I was in Cartersville, GA at my mom's house when I did this. Geez!! Oh and it is broken.

Anna-Catherine,

Surely you could of thought of an easier excuse for buying a finish nailer and compressor! Cheaper and a lot less painful!:crybaby2: :crybaby2: :crybaby2:

That had to hurt! (Been there, done that! Once, twice, three times. Ah heck I lost count after I lost the third thumbnail!)

Take it easy. heal well and get better light next time!

Be careful,

Wayne

I will pray for you friend, be blessed.

 

[NCPete]

glad you weren't using a saw instead!:saw:

 

[Sweetgum]

Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery Anna!!!

 

[Grgramps]

I'm sorry to hear of your injury. When I was young (long time ago) I was told the only sure way to avoid hitting your thumb with a hammer is to hold the hammer with both hands. It works.

The light was dim, but I still could see okay.

Anna-Catherine

Oh really??????? Hope you get better soon, that must have been one hell of a nail to need hitting that hard.......

 

[sapwood]

That's a huge OUCH!

But hopefully, your mom will be guilted into taking special care of you :-D

With genuine sympathy,
Sapwood

 

[skeeter]

I didn't break mine, but my excuse for hitting it was shaky latter and bi-focals don't mix. When it hurts remember "I could have been on the table saw". Hope you have a speedy recovery.

OH YEA, HOW'S THE HAMMER???

 

[MLB3164]

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reminds me of the time I heard a guy ask his buddy "here you hold the nail and I will hit it" Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Marty

 

[Travis Porter]

OUCH!!! You must have been trying to sink it in 1 hit.

How long before you get the cast off?

 

[cpowell]

Ouch!! That thing sticks out like a SORE THUMB!!!

Ok, sorry about that. I'm thankful it wasn't more serious!

I have hit myself in the left thumb so many times I flinch when I pick a hammer up. And it really hurt every time. I can't imagine how it must hurt after hitting it hard enough to break it.

Wish you a speedy recovery!

Chuck

 

[Sharp Blade]

All better now. The thumb bone was cracked in 2 places, but I have hardly any pain. So, I took the casting off. All I have to show for my hard work is a bruised thumbnail...and it hardly looks anything like it did right after I hit it. LOL
