I just got back from the ER, the bone doctor said he probably won't be losing any didgits/joints, but they were prepping him for surgery to repair the nail-beds on both fingers. They brought out the hospital gown and I said I'm leave'n, I didn't want to see any Bob_Esper man-junk. He or his girlfriend are going to call me post-op to let me know how he is doing.
This is the worst I have ever seen in 15 years of shop-related accidents, that the person didn't lose at least 1 or 2 finger joints. Bob is tough a hell !! He is hurt'n like chit and still making jokes, so he is pretty good spirits.
I feel real bad about this, because I told him about 20 mins prior, " Don't Chop off any fingers, or I'll post pictures of it on BFC" then this happened. I felt like Chit.
However, considering all things, he is just about as lucky as you can get to not have fingers removed.
The other finger is actually worse than the one Taylor posted, it is solid blue, has busted out flesh on all sides, and looks like the bone is shattered. The bone doctor talked like it wasn't all that bad, but it looks awful. !!
dang lol bob done gone n done it now. hope it all works out and they dont have to take none of his finger his finger looks like a buddy of mines he mashed it tryin to line up the pin hole in two pieces of drill steel
