Thanks guys.
Tapping real slow with one hand tonight.
It has been a very long day, with various surgeons telling me that my fingers needed tidying up by shortening, which may have made counting in fractions easier.
The chap that finally did the op under local anesthetic(I watched it all), by use of grafts, skill and magic thinks that I should make a full recovery.
He laughed when I told him that the chickens had probably eaten the missing bits.
Several theatre nurses said they had gone off chicken.

Robert.

I have a working thumb right now.

Fuck that looks bad Robert....keep sipping the golden nectar mate..that'll help with the pain.

+1 ice. Perfectly put.

You have kept your share of humour. Good man.
You have kept your fingers. Good news.
You have kept your middle finger.
.... now that ones important

Speedy recovery chap.

I am typing this with one finger, not in sympathy
Ed its the only way I can !!
I hope you are not in to much pain, if you are the
rest of us are not.
Had a friend at school who had 12 fingers, maths was
fun !!
Have a good friend Jimmy Manne a very high quality
dart semi pro. He did like you with a golf green
mower, Now doing a Django Rienheart and throwing
left handed.
Had a mate lost his thumb, had his penis grafted on
to replace. He was told NOT to pick his nose,
fuck nose why
Speedy recovery from the blue nosed clown.

12 fingers fair enough, aged 9'ish , had a neighbour with 12 toes.
I didn't see that punchline coming, very good.

No pain now, just inconvenience.
It takes forever to do the simplest tasks.

Tomorrow I work out a 'sacrificial stick' prodding/holding station on the frame of the mower.

Robert.

This has just caught my attention ED.

A number of decades ago, amongst a number of injuries, I had both hands severely damaged and unusable for quite some time.

I am constantly amazed at the bodies ability to heal and recover.

Good Luck!

Thanks mate.
I am sure as we get older that ability slows.
I reckon that I will get through this one OK.
It may be time to pay more attention to H&S.

Robert.

Ok I’ll be the one who asks.........

How can you ‘accidentally’ put your hand in a fekin lawnmower???

The million dollar question.

To be fair, at no point did I use the word accident, incident would always have been better.

No accident mate.
Feckin' stupidity.
I have lived a seemingly charmed life for years, but time is catching up.
See my posts above regarding H&S and a prodding stick, we all learn, eventually.

Every man needs, or should have a prodding stick....I call it my poking stick, It's an unwritten law I think.

This has caused some thought. Really strange, because if you think about it, when you need such a device, you check out all available sticks in your vicinity for length, size, possible tensile flexibility, yaddah yaddah. Now would that be a "learned" behaviour ? or instinctive and evolutionary ?

The "being a bloke" thing we all do subconsciously ?

Bizarre how E.D's misfortune can prompt such mental enquiry........hey ho!

Phantom, can I get some of what you have been smokin'?
It has been a while since I have managed such profundities.
My best guess is that evolution relies upon learned behaviour.
Being blokish probably comes naturally to everyone with a dick.

I got a nice surprise yesterday. Listed as one of the top 10 golf courses in China, the Yalong Bay Golf Course is holding a promotion somewhere in Australia. They intend to serve rum in chilled coconuts and have selected my Sundowner rum as the one to be served.

I asked is they needed me there for the event, but as it is the beginning of July, I will just be returning from my compulsory bi-annual return to the US. An all expenses paid trip to Oz would have been most welcome.

Nice one RJ!
May this be the start of something bigger for you.
