Wayne, Four digits is the other hand. [injury from 2001] They sewed and pinned it back on [crooked I might add]. It's all part of the metal fab and welding occupation that I try to avoid. Thanks.
Don, You're right, keeping it clean is the trick. The wound is finally closed in today and looking pretty good. Thanks.
Kap, Looks like you certainly know the hazzards too. The needle splinters in the foot tells me when I need new work boots. The burns and splatter from welding I am pretty much used to. It happens so often, there's no need complaining. Most of my sweatshirts have a basketball size hole in the front from grinder sparks, That's when I know to throw them out. When I built cars for a living, I couldn't keep the knees closed in a pair of pants and I had been burned just about everywhere on my body at least once, from all of the overhead welding. Yeah, in that spot too!
Hey, and thanks for the compliment!
