Thumbellino
So as part of my apparent self destruction jag I thought that smashing the living shit out of my thumb would be a good way to stay on task and move the entire project along. Or I might just be accident prone lately.
Gonna have an xray tomorrow just for fun but 99% certain the bone is broken. Definitely created a new pain baseline, worse even than cutting the tip off or the rotator cuff. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

Gorgeous color though. That looks damn painful.

Never seen a bruise so uniformly black before; you look like you could be an Iraqi voter.

You know, the up side of this is that we now know you know how to swing a hammer with gusto. No choking up on the handle taking dainty taps at the nail for you. You can probably drive a framing nail with two swings after setting it. I'm impressed, and I know just how important that is to you.

Oh yes, Glatt, but this was in aid of chipping stone while practicing making blade cores.
And UT I will be sure to keep you all updated as the kaleidoscope turns

So...You're off the thumb-wrestling circuit for how long?
I need to know for my Fantasy Thumb-Wrestling League.

Ahhhhhh, ow. Ow. I'm guessing you can't flex the distal joint in your thumb? Yes, an x-ray is important. If the distal tuft is fractured there's no specific treatment other than for comfort, but if you've fractured into the joint it's a little more involved. You could need a visit to the hand surgeon, depending. So do please follow up. You may need that subungual hematoma trephinated* by tomorrow morning too; relieving the pressure will do a lot to bring your pain level down.
You did this while chipping stone ... please please tell me you were wearing eye protection? All right, I'll stop being smothery/doctory and hope you get some sleep with the percocet. And keep that thing elevated.  *using a small cauterizing tool to relieve the pressure of a hematoma under a fingernail.
