Members pogo97 Posted January 17, 2018 Members Share Posted January 17, 2018 Oh my! So what happens now? Got a great pun out of it, though. Not to say that this would be worse, but for a singer … Man Ruptures Throat Stifling a Sneeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators daddymack Posted January 17, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 17, 2018 O...M...G...the guitarist's worst nightmare... Pat, are you okay? I mean, better the left thumb than the right one, but crap either way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pat'sStrat Posted January 17, 2018 Author Members Share Posted January 17, 2018 Thankfully, I can still play. It sliced right through the knuckle joint so they couldn't reattach. Even if they could, i wouldn't have had feeling or been able to bend it. Funny how I managed to work construction all these years and keep all my limbs and digits, but as soon as I start talking about retirement....But it's all good,. It could have been a whole lot worse. Oh well, time to start a new band- Stumpy and the Phantom Sensations! (and yes, it is true what they say- you can "feel" the missing digit as if its still there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sventvkg Posted January 18, 2018 Members Share Posted January 18, 2018 Jesus Christ!!!!! This is exactly why I wouldn’t do certain jobs...so sorry Pat. Thankfully you can still play.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pogo97 Posted January 18, 2018 Members Share Posted January 18, 2018 Like I won't do anything at height. One fall and you can lose everything -- happened to a friend decades ago and he's still not right. Oddly, perhaps, the idea of being seriously crippled is scarier to me now than it was when I was in my thirties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Notes_Norton Posted January 19, 2018 Members Share Posted January 19, 2018 So sorry Pat. That's terrible. I'm glad you can still play, but it'll probably take time. Good luck with the healing. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Notes_Norton Posted January 19, 2018 Members Share Posted January 19, 2018 I'm very careful with myself. I don't play sports, don't use many power tools, but then I make my living gigging, so even a sprain can put me out of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bob Dey Posted January 19, 2018 Members Share Posted January 19, 2018 Better the thumb than any of those fingers. But that's too bad either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Shaster Posted January 28, 2018 Members Share Posted January 28, 2018 Yikes! I just noticed this post today. That is really too bad, but as you say, it could have been worse. I had a friend that lost two fingers on his picking hand. Well that is to say, he had to switch from fingers to a pick after his accident. However, after the initial shock and adjustment, he's still playing - and probably better than ever. I'm literally sorry for your loss, but I reckon you'll soldier on.
