this is a much harder task than it seems like. while at work tonight, i was packaging up a 107 lb turbocharger when the hoist it was on decided to crap out. at this same moment, i was moving the turbos box to the correct position on the pallat and that turbo dropped about a foot, smashing my middle finger and ring finger between the intake side of the turbo and the concrete floor. i can usually deal with pain pretty good. not this time. i felt nothing as i dislodged my fingers but as i stood up, the realization of what had happened hit me and i ended up passin out and seein that 20oz of pepsi i had just drank. its now 10:47, this happened at about 6:20 and i still am in so much pain its almost unbearable. i have given up on tylenol and resorted to the left over vicadin from my wisdom teeth.
im prtty sure they arent broke, but i cant move em. they currently are about 5 shades of black/blue/purple.
sorry for this sad story of mine, but i have found it rather uncomfortable and difficult to drive my car. (this is my left hand so shifting is ok.) anyway, this has kinda been the only thing on my mind for the past few hours and just thought id share my thoughts.
the moral, be thankful of your fingers and all the things you can do with them.
(now, how to brush my teeth...)
