At least you'll be able to stick 2 fingers up at the fan when you see it next 
Get well soon

Thank you all
They are sending me home today - things have improved rapidly , I've even managed to roll a fag by myself 
All the support and good wishes I've had from you guys has really helped lift my spirits - so a massive thank-you and a big hug for the whole of
the locostbuilders community from me
The hardest part is yet to come - how do I stay out of the garage long enough to let it heal ? Four days of doing nothing is about my limit 
Its cuz I is blond , innit

Will weld for food......

Quick tip - lay off the fags - at least until fully healed (if not forever). The improved circulation really helps the healing process.....

Have you seen those people that paint with their feet? I'm sure the technique could be modified to work with a spanner!

Claire how terrible, must have been awful, glad they seem to have done a good job and saved quite a lot, you do need to take care of it cos if you
don't it'll sting like barstuard oh and best keep it clean too so defo keep out the garage,an infection is the last thing you want.

Take care
Love

it also just occurred to me we've all been asking the wrong question. you can drink with either hand or a straw. more importantly is it your
welding / lay up / lathe / general working hand?

The worst bit is I tend to use both hands for quite a lot of things...........and now that I'm finally back on a proper computer , instead of my
phone , even typing is painfully slow
I plan on spending the weekend just recovering , and catching up - also I've checked my Mx5 and now need to get a new fan - there are bits
broken out of several on the blades ! No sign of the missing bits of finger though
And for those of you that have been asking for a picture , heres one I snapped when the dressings came off a day after surgery.......
Its cuz I is blond , innit

I should NOT have clicked the down button while eating my tea!
That looks SORE, but at least it is all fastened together. Hope it heals quickly !

I think I know you well enough to say this: you bloody muppet!!
For someone who knows a lot about cars and is a machinist, you really should know better Claire! But equally, that does look like it stings a touch.
Does it hurt if you touch the bit sticking out? Being a bloke, I think I'd be sat there playing with the stitches and what not.
As for staying out of the garage, I doubt you'll have much choice. And TIG welding is off the cards for a while!!
