You want to guess what happened?

Looks like your hand was in the wrong place and it also looks painful.

It looks like you got a boo boo from a pew pew.

Nail gun incident?

Roofing gun?

Screw worm?

ABEARDEDTRAPPER wins. I was putting up some Hardie panels, stumbled on the edge of a board. Long story short, treat a nail gun like a real gun. I kept my finger on the trigger. Didn’t really realize it hurt as bad as it did, until the ER doc pulled it out with a pair of pliers. He did apologize it took two pulls.

Look on the bright side, it doesn't seem to be a ribbed nail and looks like it missed any bones !!

Neat pictures for safety talks though !!

Been there,done that. Not a pleasant experience. Your going to be sore for a few days.

Glad it didn’t keep on firing.

Ring shank. Went right through the meta-tarsal below my pinky finger. I had a glove on. As Soon As It Happened, I thought, I know I just didn’t do this. I can just yank the glove and It will come right out.WRONG! I yanked the glove and nail was still there. Called the wife and told her to meet me at the ER. I made it half way and called her to come get me. I’m not saying it didn’t hurt, but not like you would think. I passed out while in the ER? Doc is treating like a broken bone. Now I’m trying to get the nerve to go finish the siding job because I’m too cheap to pay some one. Go back to work Monday on light duty.

Tough deal man. I hurt just thinking about it.

I'm tempted to try now.

Please just stick to just showing us pics of mushrooms and your art work. We all enjoy your post! Its like the old saying, “ if your going to be dumb, you’d better be tough!” Tatiana, I don’t feel one bit tough.

There is still a small piece of the wire that connects the nails in the hand. The Doc is going to leave it for now.

If I had a nail gun, I'd aim for the temple for more efficiency

Jesus Tatiana..... knock it off. There are far too few people in this world with your level of intelligence. You need to worry less about killing yourself and more about tempting some Russian scientist into a one night stand to increase the intelligence level in this world.

If you saw those scientists (and I'm one of them) you'd become celibate and strongly pro-choice

Scout, I'd be concerned over a bone infection!!...those are REALLY no fun!, Hope they gave you some good antibiotics, and hope they work....
