jesus christ, I always take those shields off too. I guess I will have to learn for myself in order for them to go back on.

I had a pretty good scare with my chop saw, a blade came completely apart and my chop saw is also hardwired so ---- was pretty crazy.

Get well soon chris

That better not slow down the ne pinks project.

When you go in to get the stiches removed, ask if they'll give you an addadictomy so you'll stop whining about little cuts and scrapes.






















jk... Glad it wasn't worse.

doesnt look like it did any serious ligament/muscle damage and sure as hell didnt hit the bone

consider yourself lucky.. and use a guard from now on

pictures of the blood soaked shirt/blood splatter on the floor and wall and car are a must


:P

well the shirt got tossed in the biohazard bin at the hospital...there wasnt any blood on the ground or car because somehow I thought fast and keep the blood loss to a minimum with the shirt

i would have like to get a picture of the open wound but my GF didnt show up to the hospital until after the doc got the stitches in

and by no means is this a cry-fest...i certainly got what my stupid *** deserved

any guesses on what the hospital bill will be?

- 3 hours in the ER
- local novacaine anastetic
- 15 stitches, 3 internal, 12 external
- ER charges, bed, room...etc
- doctors charges
- tetanus boosted shot

Cant wait...hope they have a payment plan!

The sucky part is Honda Day is this weekend, I had a couple cars to tune this week and was hopefully going to get my car in shape, but I cant drive with only one good arm
