Yeh, i found out the hard way :(

sliced my index finger down to the bone and sliced the tendon too. 1 trip to Deriford, Plymouth and 7 hours later i have 2 stitches in the tendon and 6 on the outside :( punched through a window in a door, not the brightest of things i've done.

My own fault I guess :rolleyes:

Anyway, just a tip, punch anything apart from glass, because the glass will win :(

hmm i have it all bandaged up now. I can try and take a pic with my right hand (im left handed) typing is quite awkward too..

I'll take pic when i change the dressing lol

edit: i havent felt any pain yet, might sound wierd but even when i first pulled the skin back and saw my bone i still couldnt feel anything.. think i severed the nerves too.
 
it doesn't look very bad in this pic.. as you cant see the finger thats all stitched lol!! they put iodine all over the cuts though, thats why it looks pretty manky!

I think so, I don't wanna be seeing that knuckle and bone again.

Its starting to ache now, i have some amphibobioloopie antibiotics though thankfully.
 
well this morning my finger is sort of at a |/ or if I point my fingers up in the air its like at 45 degrees. Hurts if straighten it out and bend it. :( oh well I'll live lol!

oh, this is gonna be a long 9 days..

so hard to brush my teeth and wash with my right hand..

typing isnt very easy either!! oh well..

im getting the stitches out on tuesday, so i guessing it should have healed up by then?
 
i've only slightly sliced the tendon..

Its not painfull at all yet, until i move my finger, but then it isnt really a siering pain. I can bend my finger already but i think the stitches in the tendon are making it hurt a lot.

i didnt realise i was dripping with blood at first, just laughed at the fact i went through a window

when someone pointed out the blood, i went into panic mode :P

EDIT - dunno if you were referring to me Mark lol

ah well if it was accidental and not done in anger then i hope you make a full recovery. i put my knee through a sheet glass door.... and escaped without a scratch... came close to smacking it with my face - now that would have been bad :o

It was done in anger, but I really didnt think ' oh its a glass door' i just hit it, i dont know why that particular glass door..

If i'd of punched wood or something like it, I could have still gone to the party that most of the arguement was about :(
