Rebuilding a starter , then I drop it.

WOWZA! I hope they shot that with some anesthetic block to numb the pain. Got an icepack? Hope your toe starts feeling normal.

Man I hate to see that, but that’ll teach you to not wear flip flops while working. Oh, I once dropped a 90 lb. anvil on my left foot. Luckily my foot and not a toe, just one hell of a bruise. ER nurse asked me if I was chasing a roadrunner, friggin comedian. That, and I had to be a pallbearer the next day.

Is the starter ok? I dropped a 489 center section, loaded. It gave me an ugly foot injury but the unit was fine.

You shouldn't be screwing around with heavy objects when you're drunk!

 

[ckessel]

I was sober. Bound and determined not to damage my newly set up R&P so I used my boot/foot to catch it. That part was a success. Liquid pain meds came later.

Oh, sorry. I thought you were telling us You were loaded.

If it's throbbing take tiny drill bit and spin it by hand through the nail.
Helps a bunch.

Another good one is to heat up a pin until red hot and melt it through the nail. There is a layer of blood underneath which prevents the pin going into your flesh and it doesn't appy pressure to the nail which would make it hurt more.

Wowza and ouch! Kim

 

[Chargerjase]

Sorry this happened to you Pops. If you now have more time on your hands, maybe you could increase your workload in the blue forum.

[1967coronet]

Yep, sorry pops, That did some damage.
Damn, I just figured you had a purple toe nail thumping away.
Hope it heals up fast.

 

[gdrill]

Hopefully you will "start" being more careful.

 

[Don Frelier]

Maybe wear steel toed shoes for "starters".

Drinkin' and whackin'! Hahaaaaa

 

[Sahara]

Dang, I feel for ya. Broke a toe over twenty years ago on our daughter’s Diaper Genie. Didn’t hurt too bad at first but man, in a couple of hours the throbbing pain became pounding pain.
Hope you get well soon.

Starter bearing cover is dented & with 1/4 gap….will need to get another cover & check alignment…

Broken toe & cracked nail. Had to go to Doctor at podiatry to remove nail. I’m a mess….

I feel your pain! Dislocated toe before being put back.
