Bad splinter problem

They will come out eventually or use a magnet.

Copper's not magnetic, my metallurgically-challenged friend.

He probably means a magic super hero comic book magnet that is not a magnet. Like a giant hand or an alien squid.

Walrus just go to the clinic surely? Your hand has to be worth that?

Well yeah I think I’m going tomorrow as I did the self surgery thing and got most of it but I had to cut deep and I don’t think I can cut deeper without worrying about hitting a ligament. I’m just curious what the hell they use. I know they will numb it which will help but if I cut it up and looked with a magnifying glass and couldn’t find it what the hec do they do. Perhaps it’s just cause they studied shit like that and have done it a shitload of times. I guess I’m curious of the process and was hoping someone actually went through it which may assuage my anxiety about the whole thing. Plus having to go to a walk in place may very well mean I spend several hours sitting waiting to get a damn splinter out which seems like a waste of life

In your work the hands are the real tools. Find the smallest surgical needle but you might just break it up or push further in not to mention infection. Tweezers too fat. Hit a clinic and trusted hands of a Doc with the huge magnifying head thingy.

Sounds weird but I get hair splinters all the time at work depending on what breeds we're working with. Cocker hair is a son of a batch. They get under your nails, jammed deep between fingers and surprisingly can hurt like shat. We have to dig into the 25 gauge heads to dig everything out. Occasionally use a fine tip dental scaler.

Hey @Spicoli you ever know anyone go to a doc to do this. I dig deep to get some of it out I’m just concerned he is going to have to really cut deep to find this bastard and need a couple stitches. Usually web md gives me an idea of the process but I’m not getting the info I need. If the incision is too deep I’ll prob need a day or two off which isn’t the end of the world especially if we got any boxing this weekend

Walrus, you really need to be more careful. Your accident habits are far too frequent. If you are not sure what you are doing, just pay a poorer person to do the job for you. They need the money more than you.

Miles I hear u but projects like this aren’t so much about money but the feeling of accomplishment when u get it done and it’s right. This one was more stressful as I had everything together right only to find additional parts to relieve more pressure were needed which meant I had to take apart half of what I had just done. I estimate the water must have been coming in at 130 140 at the main, where I measured at the sink was around 105 or so. I couldn’t measure pressure right at the main.

Anyway, this time all I did was touch the connection to feel for a leak. Such a simple one second turn of the fingers created this pain in the ass. Worse thing is Fenster does not give one shit I have splinters, even if I get a massive infection and die a slow horrible death. If fenster cared I think this burden would be easier to carry.

It was a constant bone of contention when we were speaking.

1. Doesn't take care of himself
2. Denies it
3. It continues to happen
4. Keeps denying
5. You ask what the fork he's doing
6. He becomes cagey
7. He then says "it's part of the job, WTF else can I do"
8. You want to strangle him
9. You nearly strangle him
10. He sells too many potted plants

Never denied I get banged up at work but if u saw above I was at home doing plumbing work. I need to get this to code in case we sell /transfer. Plumbing job at home which I enjoyed and gave me a feeling of accomplishment. Simply got some splinters, it happens. The rest of those comments I won’t address as it was just things I talked about with u. It’s good exercise doing a big job, plumbing, carpentry and electrical and it’s something I enjoy, except the splinters. Why choke, I never wanted to choke anyone

"it happens"....... 😕

There it is, all over again

Honestly no. You wuss . I don't think a Doc would slice and dice you probably do something off the wall, submerge your hand or maybe an x ray ? if possible. The body and flesh have great self defense mechanisms. Either way you just don't want to jack your hand up for exact reasons you mentioned. They are your tools and you cannot buy more. I slept on a chow last year and ignored the sideways glance and his Billy Idol upper lip sneer and the next thing I knew there was two perfect deep punctures on the back of my left hand. Flushed it gauzed and wrapped it up in tape like a Margarito right hand . You lose your hands you lose that payday. Damn thing looked like a black, blue and yellow cartoon hand for weeks.

[walrus]

Well went to clinic today lady dr numbed my hand
And started digging. She did take an X-ray to see where it is @Spicoli good call. Anyway, she couldn’t get it out. Said I need a hand specialist. Real pain in the ass.

[brocktonblockbust]

Wtf how deep is this shit and what size/length is it

[Gandalf]

You wish it was in your arse! Let this be a lesson, Walrus. Stop doing things like this!
