Ack...

[MattheHat]

Just got home from hospital, splintered a carbon arrow while shooting and the cracked end punched a perfect round hole into my wrist at the back of my thumb. They say a tendon might be severed though they'll have a better look on Wednesday...

 

 

[Nyanna al'Meara]

The heck they're letting you wait till Wednesday??!!

 

 

>.>

 

<.<

 

 

*Heals*

[MattheHat]

They cleaned it and pulled the pieces out today, so not too bad, we live far out, remember?

[Nyanna al'Meara]

duh, but what if it gets inflamed or something...

 

eh. Get well soon bro :)

[Ithillian Turambar]

Why are you pair communicating via DM?

 

Oh ... and get well soon Matty :)

[Nyanna al'Meara]

I'm not at home, or he wouldn't have hurt himself in the first place with his big sis taking care of him >.>

 

[Niniel]

Hope it will be good, Matty. I´m not going to heal it. Healing is not my strong side. But let me know if you want some acupuncture.

[MattheHat]

Umm, thanks but I'll pass on the needles, they stuck too many needles into me already... XD

 

>.>

[Basel Gill]

Get well soon Matty!

[Panchi]

Get well soon!

[MattheHat]

Thanks!

 

Is healing well, Doctor said the tendon almost got severed so I was lucky... Gotta hold it stiff for 7 more days then start moving it again.

[Smiley73]

Thanks!

No movement for the rest of my life, or we would have had to get to the city 150km away and have it stitched back together with the help of many many sharp implements... >.>

 

hope you feel better man 

Thanks, I do now... *dizzy*

lucky that didn't happen, how'd you shatter the arrow anyway?

[MattheHat]

The Arrow must have had a fault cos Carbon arrows are bloody impossible to snap!!! Anyway, a friend was standing beside me, he said it broke as I was pulling it back, then I let go and the front end went whirring towards the target while the flight bit stuck in my wrist, not nice...

*is too late to heal it*

[Darthe]

 

Thanks!

What would have happened had the tendon been severed

If I recall correctly from my Machete incident, roughly a $20,000 surgery and 6 months of therapy.  Or, as he said, never move it again.

[Leyrann]

Whoops...

[MattheHat]

Mine wasn't a major tendon Darthe, just a minor one along the top of the thumb...

[Smiley73]

 

 

Thanks!

dayum. Machete incident?

[MattheHat]

Probably thumb off from what I can gather... >.>

[Darthe]

Actually the reason that I am going into psychology instead of music therapy!  Haha, you can't get a music degree if you can't play as well as you could when you started. 

 

My blade got stuck and had no crossguard.  It was a rainy day, I slid up it and severed the tendon in my pinky and needed stitches on four fingers.  78 stitches and a surgery later I was fixed =)  It mostly moves but isn't as fast and I can't play guitar for hours like I used to.

 

Moral of the story, don't use things without a crossguard!

Ewww. *cringes at thread* But happy your feeling better.
