Taking a break from CR....

...and anything else that requires typing in any way, shape, or form. I just destroyed two of my fingers. It's such a PITA to type, my ADD is kicking in every time I attempt to make a post.

'Good' pictures will come later this evening when I change the bandages.

 

Oh yeah, that's my left hand. I'm going to have to 'switch' to my right hand. This sucks.

I was working on my car and, completely unrelated to what I was doing, decided to spin the wheel around to see if I could hear any bearing noise. I had been hearing a slight humming noise from one of them. I didn't get my fingers out of the 'hole' in the rim by the time it came around to the caliper. I heard my fingers crunch, pulled them out and there are spots on my pads/first portion of my finger that doesn't have any skin left. The spots are about as big as the ends of two of ones fingers. You can't tell from the picture but my fingers were starting to swell in it.

'Good' Pictures. Don't do this at home kids.

 

The part of my fingers that hit the caliper. I looked at that part of the caliper when I went back out and it's shaped like a guillotine. In other words the caliper is not solid right there, it's 'hollow' with cross members.

You can see where my fingers hit the rim too.

Thanks everyone for the wishes of getting well soon. I didn't really post this for that, I actually think it's pretty funny, after the initial pain that is. And I hurt myself pretty often so this is normal to some extent. I actually started to go into shock. I was pouring in sweat.

 

Weird question, I got sick later last night, diarrhea and vomiting. I can't think of anything I ate to do this. Can your body going into shock cause this?

 

Things like this is why I’m going to take them EMT-Basic. I’m going to try to take it in the fall. Plus I need it to get onto ski patrol. graemlins/thumb.gif

Is that black stuff brake dust that is embeded in your skin, or have you just not washed it?

 

Yes and no. It is brake dust and I'm slowly washing it out from around that area. Other than when it happened the only time this hurts is when I use hydeogen perxoide and when I try to wash it out. I've washed it out when I took a shower yesterday (right befor I took those pics), and when I took a shower today. There is much less brake dust on there now than there was in those pics.

Damn dude, that looks like it could be very painful.

 

Ask Chris Green about the swelling of his fingers after he laid his bike down!!!! That was funny.

 

Oh yeah, enjoy your time away.
