No, nothing so mundane, I separated my wrist pulling my finger out of an engine lathe. The first repair was done with a pin that was too light, and I broke it in half. They had to go back in, and remove the broken pin, and replace it.
AND I can still count to ten! :)
well I don't know the details about all that sir smithlabs but it sounds like you were probably doing something you shouldn't have been.

I was making some mounts for a piece of glass for the church. They were 2 inch diameter brass standoffs, and I was polishing them with 000 steel wool, I got too close, and removed a piece of meat from my index finger. I pulled my hand clear with enough force, that I pulled my wrist in half.
Fun times for all?

I pulled hard enough to recover my entrapped finger that the connective tissue inside my wrist separated. While my hand was still on my arm, it was poorly connected, and things did NOT work well. With the two surgeries, I had my arm in a cast for six months.
Never do a free job, in a hurry, when you are tired! Bad things can happen.

I was the engineering manager at the time, so I just typed south paw. Slowed the typing, but the work flowed well.
When you are paid to work with your brain, hands are less important.

smithlabs! what does south paw mean, left handed? I seem to recall that term by old timers years ago.

So you had to ask some kids what it meant? Yes I had to use the left. All that remains now is a 3 inch scar on top of my right wrist and the ability to tell when the weather changes.
