Hit the lottery merlin? I agree, Jersey sux...
It's all healed up nice. The piece of dead skin I put back on it never scabbed up or anything. Just a little ring around it where the copper bit it off.
Everyone is just so helpful. Can you feel the sympathy yet?
Herpes LOL
a little pvc glue will seal that right up.
aw just spray a little freon on it you will be ok

Yeah, this trade is hard on the paws. I just got 8 stitches last friday. The funny thing was I had just taken off my gloves to keep them from getting too greasy. Doh!
24 years in the trade and I have managed to keep myself relatively scar free. And yeah, I know it isn't that bad; I was just bored and wanted to post something to see how many people would rag on me for what amounts to nothing more than a hole in my hand from a chunk of skin coming off. Now, I really wish I had taken pictures of that cut I gave myself last year when a razor knife I was using slipped and stabbed me in the meaty section of that same hand above. 3/4" of the blade went right in, and all I did was slap a pressure bandage on it. Two days later my stupid ass was in the emergency room getting stitches because it wouldn't stop seeping, but not until they broke it back open to properly clean it out. I hate hospitals.
blisters Dude, my wife has blisters bigger than that on her hands.I dont know how long you have been in this trade, but hand damage like that is weekly for me.Looks like your well on your way to scars galore, welcome to the club.

Seriously... I'm missing part of my ring finger on my left hand from an accident at work. Blisters and small chunks of skin are a piece of cake.

Yeah, I bent it back up to break it and my hand got pinched in-between the two ends. How'd you think I did it?
Palm abrasion Cutting copper? You sure your telling the complete truth.
