Ok folks .... I'll start things off.

Had surgery on Thursday to my knuckle. NOT pleasant and apparently will take 6-8 weeks to heal.

Who else is in this uncomfortable club

My hockey ones are under my chin and hair, and my surgery ones are down south.

Hope you gain full use of your finger. And don't use that one in traffic for a couple of months.

What happened?

Get well soon, my friend!

And.....no watch?

No shots of the inner-workings of your finger?

This is nothing like what Bas puts out.

watchmework · 3 February 2020, 06:50 AM

Ouch, what happened Brian!?

Hope you have a speedy recovery man! Any type of surgery and recovery is tough on the hands for sure.

Thanks guys ... wasn’t there a Seinfeld episode with a middle finger cast

I managed to bugger my knuckle up with some sort of cyst (non cancerous I’m told). Removed the growth, now let the healing start.

Patton250 · 3 February 2020, 06:56 AM

Wow. The worst part of the finger. Now you can’t bend it until it heals. I hope he heals quickly brother.

Thanks Brett

Yes, I have to wear a finger splint until the skin is fully healed or it’ll split wide open. The surgeon said if that happens he can’t re stitch it and it could take up to 3 months to heal. Needless to say I’m taking it easy

JasoninDenver · 3 February 2020, 07:01 AM

That looks inordinately painful for such a small appendage. Get well soon!

ltmgeller · 3 February 2020, 07:02 AM

Motorcycle accident. This was one of the minor injuries. I was wearing my TT Sub. The cut stopped at the watch which fared much better than I did. The Sub was serviced within 5 weeks and just needed a crystal, I spent 3 months in the hospital and 5 months in a wheelchair.

Not to bad, but showering isn’t a lot of fun

My goodness Mike ... when did this happen? That looks horrible. Glad you’re ok, sounds like it could have been much worse ...

Ok I officially need to suck it up

Thanks Brian. I forgot to wish you a speedy recovery in the first thread. This happened June 25th 2017 and I'm still recovering. My hand is at 99% now, just gets stiff once in a while. I can do pull-ups and anything else I need to do.

Made me appreciate life a heck of a lot more. Everyday above ground is a good day.

Great perspective... each day is a blessing

So I said "nice dog, does he bite?"

She says "no he doesn't".

Of course he doesn't bite.

Burlington · 3 February 2020, 07:45 AM

Ouch !

Got too many scars to list but they all fade away with time.

Worse stitches I had were in my lower lip. One got missed as my lip healed around it. I went back three times to the doctor until he actually looked and dug it out. That hurt.

Sorry I shouldn’t laugh but man that’s ironic. She must’ve felt awful.

Mouth stitches are the worst ... I have to agree

Total knee replacement. It was very painful and the rehab was brutal, but it needed to be done.

A knee replacement? Sounds like a painful procedure...OUCH OUCH OUCH...
I hope you're better now.

Trepang · 3 February 2020, 08:24 AM

Got stabbed by a fish fin. Five days in Bethesda Naval Hospital. They were gonna amputate the finger at one point.

Not stitches per se, but adhesive to close the incisions.
