I put the edge of a 1/2" endplate of a 535lb structural beam down on my right middle finger on Wednesday. I honestly thought I wasn't going to have a full finger when they lifted it up. Believe it or not I'm using it to type right now... a little less skin on it and a helluva blood blister, but it's pretty much good to go.
My boss's only response was to yell from across the room "Was it your trigger finger?"
I am glad you are doing better.[Flower]
Glad it is healing.
It it is pretty easy to get attached to pain meds, with my back problems I would go heavy some days on my Vicodin and man it puts you in such a fog. I actually remember thinking how easy it would be to become addicted to it.
Are you on antibiotics? If so which one?
They have me in Kexflex 500mg x 4 a day for 10 days. I'm almost done with those. Don't see myself getting addicted to those oxy, not really an addictive person.Quote:

I think the only drug I could become addicted to would be Propofol/Diprivan. It has to be the best sleep I have had since I was an infant.
100 proof anything seems to be my limit on pain killers. Highly effective but major long term addiction issues.
Finger looks real good! I hated being on pain meds but it was the only way to sleep. You're lucky about the clean up job.... The surgeon left a little piece of nail bed on mine.... It hasn't grown but could possibly cause problems in the future....
Worst pain I ever felt was removing the gauze post ER and prior to surgery... The blood had dried onto nerve endings....
