I'm glad you are OK.
I've seen what can happen. My brother went through several surgeries after his run in, and sometimes he says he's about ready to have an index finger lopped off since it's next to useless and mostly in the way.

Been there done that. Tablesaw plus thumb. Trust me on this when it comes time to have the stitches removed have someone drive you. You will want to be as [bleep] up as possible. When they pulled those stitches through the nail I about passed out. Hard to describe it. Pain,nails on a chalk board, biting into a Popsicle stick, worst static shock you ever had all rolled together plus a few other indescribable sensations. Don't know how I checked the instinctual response to take a swing at the doctor.

sure cant fit that in the left nostril..... ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c124/huntsman22/tools/L7_zpsaodxqifo.jpg) May not help your nostril...but could help the wifee out....  Ah yes, the old soak it in cider remedy. Prolly could've gotten away without stitches with that treatment.

Damn you, could have put a warning on this thread.
I imagine that will be throbbing for a couple of days, hope she heals up well.

Had a country doc to that to me when I was 10 years old. Let's see, that was 50 years ago. He used a paperclip, heated on a bunson burner to melt the holes in the fingernail. Thank God for novacain! I watched him perform the task with fascination.

Damn Don! But this here is the only way to look at it: IIRC - at least it's not your trigger finger!
Good time to go play! PS, you can get to the left nostril, you just have to use the right hand. Haven't you ever heard of the reach-around?

At least you still have them my friend. I have a friend that cut his thumb strait down the top and through the nail with a box cutter. He had stitches right through the middle of his thumb nail.
I'd say that will be very sore for a good while. To bad it wasn't your bird finger, you coulda really told'em what you thought about'em. Huge bird!
Hope it heals back soon.

Youch!
Table saws have always spooked me. Chainsaw no prob but for some reason table saws just make me nervous.
Think I'll stick with 1200lb pissed off mommas instead.
