Meat flaps = stitches

No tendons where hurt in the making of this pic. Wahoo. Pressing 5th driven gear off the tail shaft of a t45 that I'm rebuilding. I had my hand on the shaft so when it poped free it didn't slide to the floor and nick a gear. Well it slid to my hand and sheared me a bit on one the shafts machine edges. I tried to get the best pic i could. Being that it appeared pretty deep I called my girl whom works at shady side upmc. They snuck me in under the table and hooked it up with a couple stitches.

Put some super glue on it and wrap it with a paper towel and electrical tape. Good as new!

Ouch. I dont go to the doctors either. Funny thing, I was re-building a T-5 this weekend. Another one to add to my list.

Nice. I'm macho too, but when I blasted a hole in my upper lip playing softball this summer I had to give in and have 4 stitches put in too. It was real fun.
