Well, after 34+ years on the farm, it finally happened to me. While unhitching our corn planter, I was putting the rear stand under the frame, and my stepdad released the hydraulics...with my hand still between the planter and stand. So, a trip to the ER, 20 something stitches, and a pain pill prescription later, the Dr. says, "well it kinda resembles a thumb again". Well that was 6 days ago now... Anyway, I'm thinking about starting a campaign to outlaw corn planters, since they can injure or kill you( you know, like those dangerous firearms). Just kidding, I don't mean to troll... Seriously though, I met with an orthopedic surgeon Friday, and I have a decision to make, to get reconstructive surgery, or not. It severed both nerves to my thumb, So I have no feeling from the knuckle to tip. He said he can try, but results may not be positive to regain feeling. I was wandering some real world experience from shooters, since it is my shooting hand if they have any problems without sensitivity. I can't imagine it matters a whole lot, since it is just my thumb, but I'm am trying to weigh all my options before making my decision. Currently, I am not entertaining the idea of having it done, but want to hear from y'all on your ideas. Thanks, and PSA for today, be careful around equipment.
