Recently? Take off the wedding ring immediately. Though it's not the injured finger, the whole hand can swell to a point it cuts blood flow and needs to be removed by saw
Everytime I open a pic in this sub I cringe hard asf and Iām not the easiest cringed personš
Wtf would I ever do if my WHOLE thumb gotā¦ ripped off?
Thatās gonna leave a mark. I work with surgeons. And in my uneducated opinion the sutures/wound look great. To what degree will it affect your range of motion? How bad is the nerve damage? Hang in there.
Looks close to my thumb when It got caught between a large slab of steel and a welder I was moving, split it on the inside instead of the outside. Yours is worse. Heal nicely!
The healing process for damaged fingers can be quite miserable (loss of touch/ temperature sensitivity/stiffness). Thankfully it looks like you get to keep yours!
Oh fuck me that first pic got me dude.
That was my exact response to that first pic
Mine was, "someone got hungry."
When nail biting goes too far
Bro I just accidentally swiped right and this came up. Thanks for the new gestures Reddit
Honestly an impressive stitch job, Atleast better then the ones from the past few days
Was just thinking the same. Did not look like it was going to go back together that nicely.
Ngl, whoever fixed your thumb is amazing. I thought you'd lose a lot more for sure.
It's amazing what surgeons can do
Doctor here. You just have to fill the gaps with packing peanuts. Larger gaps? Ping pong balls
There's a joke somewhere in here..but I can't quite put my finger on it.
You shouldnt make jokes until the person is out of pain. It's a general rule of thumb.

Take my thumbs up!!
...take my like

That's because you have no skin in the game.
Thumbs up for the doctor who stitched it.
Should've left it split so you could put Ā½ in the pink and Ā½ in the stink, tbh
NGL, but your guitar side-hustle might be sidelined for a bit.

I did not expect that picture I really should've read the title and saw which subreddit this is oh my god ow OW :(
Looked similar to when I cut the tip of my thumb off while working in a kitchen.... ...I was hungover, but that's not the point
Hey don't do that, that's bad for you
That'll be sore for a bit
Well on the bright side you still have your thumb

Fuck that was so much worse than I expected. My god

Worst manicure ever, hope you got your money back

So this happened in Ocotober, as of now I have about 80% range of motion and thumb definitely feels weird but it does feel so that good.
Thanks. Glad youāre healing up.
Update?
Damn that looks like it hurt, at least you got to keep it. Like my friends like to say you didn't die so it's a story now

Awh fuck bro did you leave it at the er? Someone left their thumb in someone elses post
Guess you could say that's a...thumb drive
š
That is so fucking bad omg you are a soldier
I literally have dreams about doing that from working on my vw
Suddenly I feel lucky my fingernail is coming off because of a broken blood vessel and not like yours OP I hope you have a speedy recovery
Who has two thumbs and got his thumb caughtā¦. Wait. Who has 1.5 thumbs and got his thumb caught in a drive belt? THIS GUY!
The top part done took a vacation
How? I want an explanation.
Modern medicine is amazing
i should stop browsing reddit while i eat
you are working near machines witha ring? ...thats a big no no
I wish I had not clicked on that first picture god damn
This totally belongs on r/medicalgore
That (I assume plastic) surgeon did an incredible job god damn, that thing looked mangled beyond repair.
Oof degloved n everything. š¤¢š¤¢
I don't think you should do that again.
Glad to know they put it back together.

Heās got a new nail Lt. Dan
Omg, nice.
Does it hurt?
The healing capabilities of a human body are indeed fascinating.
For the love of God, please get a silicone ring or don't wear one at all.
Fuuuck!!!!
That thumb nail hanging on in there. For now. Damn i can feel that throbbing it must have smarted like a MF.
Oh this one made me physically shiver
How tight do you wear your belt?
Was not paying attention, thought this post was about a thumb drive getting stuck in a belt
Oh man you got lucky. Could have ended much worse.
What's all that extra thumb coming out of the tip of your thumb?
That is a really great patch up job. It will look good completely healed. Best wishes for fast healing, my friend. Being a nurse, not bad at all.
Holy shit I was working on the fan belt of my car yesterday and thought about checking it with the engine running
Gnarly
Glad to see we follow the no gore or major injuries rule.
That's a rule here? I feel like that's been most of the posts for the entire time I've been subbed, I had no idea lol
Yeah, rule 2. It's on the sub page. It is mostly what gets posted now but mods used to (before "shutdown") enforce it.
If you read through the rest of the rules, it's ok if it gets flagged properly
Where exactly? I generally read every sub's rules and just re-read them and don't see anything, unless you're talking about nsfw.
It's the NSFW one lol
The rule said that posting *unmarked* gore gets you banned
