Sh$#. Guess I'm getting old

[Tdh]

Trying to remove a stuck/corroded fastener. Wrench popped off, and my hand smacked into a hard part. Broken metacarpal above my pinky. 

Geez.

Damn!

Bummer, that sucks.

You aren't getting old - that would break anyone's hand no matter age.

 

Am sorry to hear it happen. Hope it heals quickly!

If it makes you feel any better, I had the same break in my left handle playing touch football....I was 16.

So did you get the fastener off?

The Doc used it to screw the broken hand bone together.

Sorry to hear that my friend. Now, let it heal completely before you attempt to put anymore pressure on that hand.

Yeah but back then all you got was a popsicle stick taped to your finger. 

Played football too.

And a lot of folks never wore their seat belts.

Well...

At least you have a good excuse to your wife why not being able to do certain activities in the household.

Man, I wish. When it comes to car/bike related injuries she has zero sympathy for me.
