You shoulda clamped that thing in your vise and gone skrunk style on the stitches there Mr. Twitch. Might as well add a little bling while you put things back together

Slices aren't very much fun. I hope the little lady is doing well and not too traumatized. Clean edges, should heal up nicely. She probably didn't miss tendons by too much.

In a moment of stupidity, a good friend of mind went to stick his fillet knife into the cleaning table after a round of silver carving. As he did so, his hand slid off of the handle and onto the blade, cutting all 4 of his fingers immediately down to the bone. He called his father, a doctor, who told him not to go to the hospital but to get on the next plane home to Seattle so he could make sure things were sorted out correctly. He did get tendons, and still has some issues today.

Best of luck and watch out for renegade avocados.

Yeeouch !
Damn, that makes me involuntarily clench my fists.

I can't believe this went by acclaimed.

Meant in good humor of course...

Right Stam?

No pinky wrestling for a while.

That diet coke can ties the carnage altogether nicely

That was pretty funny

JFC!

I just saw this for the first time today.

Looks more like 15# Chameleon to me. That's like cable to an eye surgeon. Wonder what it looked like before filling in the "gaps". I think I could implant an artificial lens in between each of those stitches.

You need to show us a pic of what it looks like now. Can she straighten the finger without having to use the opposite hand?

holy carp...thats going to be pounding later

looks like Jonas tied the knot

Lucky she didnt cut through two tendons. She'd have rubber bands attached for exercise.

Given the *if ya can't tie knots, tie lots,* ya shoulda called Doc,

or your vet....

Prayers sent for a speed recovery!

Yeah, I know I'm wierd but I always wanted to try stitching someone up. I have removed stitches from myself and others but think it would be "interesing"to try to patch up living flesh. Prettyt sure a square knot would look as good as what the finger fixer did. A double uni would be a lot of work but would look really good.

Live flesh.


A turkey of mine had an abcess on her foot. She is one of my best layers. Made my incision, drained and flushed teh abcess, then stitched her up. She was the only hen of mine that was able to pull off her own clutch in the woods.

Andy,

That looks better than the doc did.

Andy-



Nice turkey foot...what CAN"T you do well?

ecxacto knife?

Have done surgery to remove and abscess or two from chickens and sewed a couple up that had tears in the skin. They all survived and lived for years afterwards.

Clean new blade, heat sterilized.

Leave it to Doc to dig up old ass threads!

Seems to have healed fine with no ill effects, though one of her favorite things to do is hold her pinky up in the air and say things like "Yup, gonna rain tomorrow..."

I'll try to get a pic later. Currently she's in the big city trying to find everything on my Christmas list

Twitch would love a Ducks sweatshirt!

She hates the Ucks more than I do (I didn't think that was possible, leading me to believe in 'love at first sight' )
