sucks about your finger OP

 

[Papa Hogan]

It's actually fairly easy to regrow your fingertips these days.

Science!

Murderous science.

Let's have another science project before we call the proposed procedures ethical (especially the one with the virus!): let's allow one of the 'skin babies' to develop--without introducing the virus--into whatever it turns into and go from there. I just don't agree with sacrificing a potential life for another life. Except when Jesus gave his life for many. I don't believe we should make a choice to end a possible life so we can grow body parts back.

Saw the orthopaedic hand specialist today. Fracture should heal on its own. I got a new splint that works much better than the one that the urgent care place provided. That first splint filled up with blood, compressing the finger, and started cutting oxygen flow to fingertip so I took it off the first evening.

Cuts should heal on own. Current fingernail is doomed and new one will likely grow in crooked. Hopefully not to the point of needing surgery.

Except for the first night, pain hasn't been much at all, except when I hit the finger on the windshield wiper control as I rotated the steering wheel, %$&# mf &#@%#! I guess smashing the nerves along with the rest was a good call.

And for all the medical voyeurs out there:

The fracture is sort of visible on the right image. It runs from the tip under the nail diagonally down to where the bone looks notched. You'll have to add the blood and gore yourselves because I ain't taking pictures of it.

adult stem cells you dumb fuck.


also--the one with the "virus;" you haven't a clue of what you speak. fear and rage from the ignorant. that's all I hear.

Mr. Zinfamous,

First off, I'd like to apologize for not reading your article before I accused in ignorance of what you spoke. Sorry about that. I should've seen that they use adult stem cells for that process. I'm quite interested in the topic now that I've read it.

But why so hostile? When you mentioned stem cells, my mind raced to unborn babies. It does make me very angry that humans have been so selfish to allow small human lives to be annihilated so that they may maintain a different lifestyle, in the case of abortion, and have their diseases treated by embryonic stem cells. I've begun to wonder about chemical contraception. I'll have to research what the active chemicals accomplish.

Mr. IronWing, I'm happy to hear you don't have much pain.:biggrin:

We didn't want x-rays, we want blood and stitches.

First off: keep it out of Ironwing's thread

Second: I give two dicks about what you think of ES cells. I think it's great and wonderful, and you've got it embarrassingly wrong. (it's not about "maintaining a different lifestyle;" it's not about destroying "innocent lives"
i.e. these lives never existed because, they aren't lives. That, and they would be tossed into the incinerator, regardless)

You have your opinions and I have truth on my side.

Also, I didn't see the "no trespassing" sign in the title of this thread.

It's funny, I was going to put a story about my dad in here, then I read Papa Hogan's idiocy. I went to respond with some fairly creative vocabulary, then decided "Why bother? He's already decided, he's just here to preach from his little pulpit".

Anyway,

My dad was working on his car one day. He had the keys in the ignition with it running (in park). He was lying under the car looking for an exhaust leak. He reached his right hand up and grabbed at the car to slide himself out, but didn't realize he had grabbed the bottom edge of open driver-side door. The door slung closed, slammed and latched with his thumb trapped in it.

In incredible pain, he was unable to get to the doorhandle because his finger was trapped near the front bottom edge of the door.

He screamed until my mom heard him. She came out and opened the door for him. He still doesn't like to talk about it, and he's still not sure how long he was stuck like that. I imagine each second felt much longer than it really was.

Hope your finger gets better!
