My brother was going to have a great weekend a few months ago.

Got new speakers he was excited about, and was going to install them mounted up on his wall. Go up ladder, do stuff for the first speaker. Goes to take a step down. First step of step stool blow out, falls off, eats shit.

Broken arm.

Happy Saturday!

Working as fabricator a thousand years ago.
Have 29off 100x50x3000mm channels to make & 1off @2995mm
End plates with 2 holes, stamped them per drawing, 133B & 133C or whatever on bench before fab & weld
Inspector/snagging guy comes around after lunch.
"You've stamped these channels wrong you muppet, I ain't sorting it."
They're already next door, ready for dispatch along with 50 tons of other beams & bits of building.
Proceed to grind out 30 stamped numbers & reapply on flange as best I can, on the floor.
110 swings later I'm sweating like a Turkish rapist, glasses are steamed up, the 'B' stamp is being a cunt.
*Swing* The faintest E is perceptible in the right light.
Jiggle stamp about to restrike w/out double stamping.
Lose rag. Fucking bastard cunting hammer is a piece of shit *&^^%$ etc.
Loose hammer handle a few inches, pull back a foot higher, let fly with all the strength I can muster.
Don't even hit 20mm letter stamp
Hit index finger full fucking ragnarok style
Feel hammer bounce off channel, felt like hitting a towel on an anvil.
Sort of soft & hard at the same time.
Have my first 'Scared to take the glove off' moment.
Take glove off, it looks like your pic.
Sink into shock after a few seconds, the pain was nothing compared to the fear.
Go to hospital to get the black scrubbed out of it & x-ray.
Tell nurse, "Maybe it isn't even broken, it doesn't hurt very much"
Get X-ray.
Last joint on index finger looks like gravel.

It swelled up so much you'd swear it was a dick too. Like a German helmet.
It took me ages to lose the fear. 15 years later I still have crooked nail too.

Dumping gas into a carburetor. Friend turned the key and it shot up a flame. When I pulled my hand back I spilled the gas I was holding onto my arm which then ignited. Had it wrapped up for a month with brides coming daily to change dressings. All good now just working on getting the strength back

Yeah it’s pretty good now just a bit weak. Did therapy for about a month but I think it was kinda pointless. Just using tools and such seems to help build up the muscles.

The darker spots will be scars which is taking some getting used to. I’ll be doing something and just catch it out of the corner on my eye and think my arm has dirt or something on it.

[Anonymous No.1263270]

try a derma roller for blending the scar tissue in. Normally it's for acne but it should help in smoothing the rougher spots out.

[Anonymous No.1263273]

>>1263270
not really too worried about it. honestly think the worse it looks the better, it'll be a good reminder not to do dumb shit. my mother keeps telling me to cover it with a tattoo but fuck that only part that really annoys me is that the hair on that arm grew back quite a bit longer but not really anything i can do about that i guess.

the skin is also still pretty weak. simply scratching it will rip skip off so i have to be careful especially if i'm working on shit like the tractor.

oh and my nipple grew back too. didn't get any pics of the chest and side burns because they weren't as bad but having half my nipple fall of was kinda fucked up. nipple was actually the first thing to fully heal which i thought was weird

>but its so fucking itchy
not if you superglue it. less than 4 weeks ago, I cut myself deep on my finger with a knife and I'm pretty sure I hit a vein because dark blood was just gushing out. I superglued it, waited 30 min before doing anything, and continued with my day. two days after, superglue fell off and I was left with a barely redish outline of a cut. no scabies, no infection, no 1 week of healing.
band-aids are garbage. just superglue your wounds.

[Anonymous No.1265527]

>>1264814
I tried to super glue a cut before and I found it very hard to do. How are you supposed to glue it shut with blood coming out?

[Anonymous No.1265609]

>>1265527
it's very simple:
1) wash it with cold running water
2) elevate the finger above your heart (lift it up above head to be sure)
3) press the wound with a paper towel and hold it for 30 seconds so it stops the bleeding
4) apply superglue

superglue might become reddish at a spot or two but that doesn't matter.

anyway, I've been doing this for years for cuts. it doesn't even need disinfection if you use cold running water.

bandaids, anti-bact creams etc are fucking useless. nothing heals as fast as a superglued wound.
