My 1st and last ND Very nasty pics. I get to go back to work

Just read the entire thread and amazed at what you've overcame...had a ND not too long ago by stupidity on my part....just got to comfortable & my pride took a severe hit as I always thought I was as "safe as they come" or so I thought...its def. taught me alot....but, glad your healing up!

Amazingly quick healing. Good for you, man

And you definitely had some qualified medical attention at the time. I wouldn't recommend doing that out here! Looks good!

Lol I'm very fortunate that I have recovered as fast as I have. The doctor that did the surgery is a phenomenal surgeon. I can't describe how lucky I am. This whole ordeal could have been far far worse.

How many people did you run up to, and yell, "High four!!"?

Alot. Most just look at me like I am retarded. There are the few that don't think and just do it.

I try. You should see the look on people's faces when they ask "what happened" I always answer the same way. I shot myself in the hand. That usually ends the conversation.

Well, I just got done reading through the entire thread. Wow, what an eye opening experience. Trust me, your ordeal has caused me to pause and reset my own levels of safety awareness.

First, I'm very happy you were able to make a full recovery! Your tenacity and drive to meet your goals is also a testament to your strength.

Second, thank you for owning up to your mistake!! That may have been the hardest thing to do! Nobody likes to admit to doing something stupid, but really, 99% of accidents are from user error. Again, I will think of your accident every time I handle a firearm from now on!

Third, you've got a drink on me if and when we meet!! My stomping grounds are around Woodstock, so we might just run into each other one day!

Take care and shoot straight!
