That's gonna be a good one  :)

Here's a picture of my zombie thumb after I had the thumb nail ripped out and 'almost' stitched back on again by a very pretty French doctor in Cannes a few yeas ago

They were talking about it so much that the anesthetic wore off and I have to admit that it was one of the most painful things I've ever had done (they tried to stitch it back on through the side). The bloody thing fell of after a couple of weeks anyway  ::)

cheers

James

This is turning into one of those threads...  lol

My toe looked a lot like Jim's thumb in the pic above a couple of months ago when I had an operation for an ingrowing nail. Hurt like hell and the podiatrist was flipping useless. They had to cut both sides due to his fiddling about where it wasn't necessary... I had a hernia fixed up at the same time.

No pics though... you don't want to know, seriously.

lovely!  :-*

by the way, even if i like the idea of a post where to post all the wounded thumbs, i suggest to change partially the name of the thread, at least with some [gore inside]!

i don't think that here on LAF there will be many children or faint of heart, but... who knows! ^^

Gah! :o  

In deference to the more sensitive members of the forum, I suggest that you remove the in-topic picture of Zombie Thumbnail and just post a link (as I did with the more graphic photo of Frankenthumb) so that those forum members who like to peruse topics over breakfast don't receive a nasty shock...!  ;)

Likewise any other posters who might like to share war stories of their injuries in this thread. If you have a graphic photo that folks might take exception to, please post a link (and a warning) rather than putting the photo up in-thread.

Thanks, I'm actually a very fast healer normally (usually I heal up like Wolverine slathered in Neosporin...!).

Sorry for the threadomancy but I took up the challenge of horrible injuries and did my best...  lol

Well, I can laugh about it now... Last week on Monday I was shacking some coconut milk over our sink vigorously, in which I had placed an open tin, lid still attached and propped up... Needless to say... My finger met the lid edge with a vengeance!

5 stitches and one course of antibiotics (got to the bone sadly) later I am looking forward to having my stitches removed next Monday and then taking a shower with two hands!!! Sadly I also haven't been able to paint.

EDIT: Here's a picture after the stitches and the tourniquet (just a link in case someone hates stitched flesh! :D)

I agree, I had some stiches on my chin and the man did a horrible job. Next time my girlfriend can do the job, she learned to stick the plastisurgic way, and she learned how to do it from a vet so she knows how to handle the hair!.

JESUS... I had missed the French doctor thumb thing! Yikes!  o_o

Yeah, stitches and dressing afterward were absolutely ace. That's the QMC in Nottingham for you. The walk-in centre in town on the other hand did a horrible job at changing and re-dressing the finger. It took them an hour to get it right. I am glad they didn't stitch me up.
