I got my left hand crushed between my rear bumper and trailer tongue today, trailer weighing about 1,200# at the time. Manned up and finished out the work day and then headed to the hospital only to have a heat stroke 2 blocks away. By the time i got through the ER doors i could barely walk and was on the verge of collapsing and passing out. After some ice packs and IV i feel much better except for this badly smashed hand. X-ray was clean no breaks but it has lots of muscle, tendob, and soft tissue damage. Ill post some pics tomorrow. When i was asked why i didnt get my hand out sooner i reponded "My bumper is still dent free." lol

 

It's all about priorities.

Sorry bout that man, hope your hand recovers quickly.

 

Good save on the bumnper! Hand will heal....right?

(Glad it wasn't worse.)

 

^^^ This.

 

good luck on a speedy recovery

 

On the way home from the bar a friend with a chevy convinced me to destroy my rear tires.. They were still pretty much brand new but now not so much lol

 

Replaced heater core and a/c evap today. Also fixed recirculation door while it was apart. Screw backed out and was laying in the blower.

 

Fixed small drip at trans line to radiator.....worked on another project most of the day - teaching a kid to do U Joints, carrier bearing and brakes on his project truck. (he learned that you can destroy a new U joint in a 20 ton press if you get in a hurry!)

 

You can destroy a lot more then just a U Joint in a 20 ton press. Better be glad it wasn't his hand......

 

Or his sister.
