Ouch! Hope that heals quicker than it looks like it will. I know the feeling, though; beginning of this last winter, first snow, first time using the thrower I get a clog. Turn the PTO off, ASSUME (you know what they say about that :bash2:) it stopped and put my hand in the chute. Through 2 pairs of gloves I get a finger nicked. I spent the next 3 months of winter waiting for the nail to fall off. So, cheers to dumb things :beerchug:

You really should listen to that little voice!!!

I can see the new warning decals on pressure washers now, "DO NOT HOLD PARTS IN YOUR HAND, SEVERE INJURY MAY RESULT"

Did your's have one? Did you contact Wee, Stickem & Goode yet? that looks like at least a Half Million dollar injury to me. It's the American way, get stupid and make someone else pay!!

Boy, I bet it hurts like crazy, lot of nerves in the hand:bigthink:
Hope all works out in the end.

Yep, those pressure washers will downright BITE you. I was using one last year and a 2 second lapse in concentration resulted in a pretty good gash across my shin.

:bigeyes:

Heck, move this one to the Prayer section!! That one really hurt!!! Glad that you didn't pass out and that medical attention was as swift as it was--Mama Mia, that one is gonna leave a nasty memory. Hope that you heal fast and well, with feeling back in all of your hand (including your pinky). Keep it clean so that infection doesn't halt your healing.

I, too hear that little voice, but it is usually my fiancee saying things like, "You stupid, stupid, meathead." "Oh, you make me so mad you dumb man." and things like that......I just stare back with with empty eyes and my mouth open until drool seeps from my mouth, followed by a nod and smile.:biggrin2:

Take it easy on yourself, for crying out loud be careful....

That looks like it hurt! Glad your ok! I welded a brace on an exhaust stack on a 750 Massey combine once got done reached for something to pull myself up and grabbed the fresh weld that felt great!

Oh, that is TOO FUNNY!
You have one of those too?! :bigthink:

Sorry to see that. Hope you have a quick recovery.

Sorry about that, hope it recovers quickly.

Ouch!
Pressure washers can be wicked. Sorry to see and hoping for a speedy recovery for you.
