Right Hand Useless For Mocing...

My right thumb was rendered useless today. I was assembling the biggest weber BBQ that you can buy at Home Depot, and in the process of unpacking it, the lid managed to fall full force onto my thumb. If my thumb had been at any other angle, I think it would have broke. It bit REALLY hard. I think the lid on that thing weighs about 8-10 lbs.............

 

I feel fortunate that I only got a heavy bruise on top, and a rapidly filling blood blister inside my first knuckle. Keeping that thing drained is painful enough in itself. I have no good grip with my right hand unless I don't use my thumb. So looks like if I want to make anything new, I'll have to lefty it........

 

 

Ouch...........

*chuckles* No matter how many times I read it, it never gets old.

 

Firstly, you don't know barbecues until you've come to Aussie.

Secondly, ouch! Hope your thumb gets better soon.

Make sure you keep that finger moving, despite the pain. Once you lose mobility and it freezes/seizes up, you've got an extra 6 months of physical therapy to get it back.
