Skin regeneration

[jafagsx250]

I fucked up at work today and a finger made intimate contact with a grinding wheel. Sucks ass. Very sore. But what's worse is that I have a restricted license test on Sunday and I can't really use the clutch very well.

So does anyone know anything that helps or am I shit out of luck.


If anyone is interested this what it looks like.

i have used it when i was racing, works great on the friction burns you get through your leathers which look similar to the picture you posted.

Liquid bandaid works wonders as spanner spinner said. Or stuff called second skin, clear and works much like liquid bandaid. Your local chemist will sort you out.

Summat like real aloe vera on a bit of gauze, couple of wraps of electrical tape to keep it in place. As long as the wound stays supple it won't start screaming at you.
It will hurt like a bastard but it's consistent.

Has worked for me in the kitchen over the years when I've carved a finger up or deep fried a digit and still need to do 8 hours graft with my hands.

Take spare gauze, aloe, tape etc. When the dressing starts slopping about, change it.

Oh, you have weird looking fingers.

Some decent work gloves ... but oh, you needed that beforehand. I too self-ground once. Now I always wear gloves. (Gloves didn't help much when i ground my knee though).
Na. 70 year old woman I work with lost her finger tip in a door last week and didn't even cry. You'll get through it.

I bet she would squeal if she jammed a door on it this week. Ouchies.


Must agree with ATGATT beyond bikes. I wear gloves, glasses, etc, religiously when I'm doing anything remotely dangerous.

Good god, the children of today. I'm not unique or unusual in having raced with broken bones. I've had to assist riders onto bikes - and catch and lift them off after races too.
Getting your licence is IMPORTANT - just harden up and do it petal.

Prezactly.

Just clutch lessshift on the way up and stamp on the lever for downs. The examiner will hardly tell the difference and commend you for your authoritive riding style. Maybe.

The first aider put the details in the notebook but no I didn't fill out a Q 40 or anything. I'll ask my h r manager when I come back to work next week.

I had gloves but I always thought that they can make things worse by getting caught.

Next time I will wear gloves for sure.

I'll have a look at the local chemist and see if they have it.

It's not too bad if I can't do it as my brother can always do it if they'll let it.

Yeah. I've gone from doing nothing for safety as a 20 year old through to now where I'm wearing ear protectors, safety glasses/goggles, dust mask, gloves whenever warranted and using a wee RCD when using electrical cutty things. RCD was really only because I saw it cheap one day and thought I should probably have one just so could say I use one. Damned thing probably did save me one day when I cut through the extension cord while using electric hedge clippers. Was very sobering to find the clippers had stopped working because the RCD had tripped then followng the cable back to find a big cut in it with wires exposed. Yay for ATGATT beyond bikes!

You've probably heard some people saying that sort of thing to justify not wearing the gear but safety gear will seldom make things worse. It's a bit like those few people who won't wear a car seatbelt and justify it by saying it would be dangerous if they finished up submerged somewhere and couldn't release the belt.
