Will it ever end???

The first time I pulled the oil pan off my XJ I hit the nail on my right little finger at its base on the first bolt I removed. The rest of the R&R of the pan was done while the slowly expanding hematoma (blood clot) separated my nail from the underlying tissue. Monday I went to see the doc and he removed the nail completely. When the nail was lifted up blood must have shot 3 feet out from my finger. The following Friday I flew up to MI to help Scott Mac do his lift. Made it real fun to get the mechanics gloves on and off :eek: .

Kejtar, Suck it up man! What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger ;) . It won't hurt this bad during the whole time the nail grows back.

Forgot you're an import. "Sawbones" is old-time slang for "doctor," a carryover from the days when amputations were actually done with a saw.

Why did you think Captain Kirk always called Dr. McCoy "Bones"?

:eek: you must be damn good friends for you to FLY to help someone install a lift kit. Either that or you were terrified Scott was gonna kill himself in the process :D

Eagle, I didn't expect for you to be a trekkie :) Right on :)
 
Next time pull it out yourself...I suggest a few shots of your favorite "pain killer" and some needle nose pliers. I used to get severely ingrown toenails on both of my big toes. I got so sick of the doctor sticking needles in my toes, I started pulling the nails out myself. Finally I had them removed permanently, best thing I ever did. Moral of the story: nut up and be a man, it is just a freaking fingernail. :D
 
Get it fixed or it will eventually cause Death Wobble...........better get your colon checked while you're in there...........could have sworn this was an Ary-thread.
