Indeed, I've already cut down to just one pill, and I might just stop altogether.

Yep, I think it's time to do the right thing for me and my body, and stop taking this heinous substance...

...and sell them to that lady at the gas station down the street! :D

OMG!

Lazarus, seriously, make sure that everything gets done, the right way. You need that finger back. All the way back. That's your good right hand.

Emphasis. These days, a lot of bacteria strains have been bred (factory farming methods) to resist antibiotics. If this comes up, ask for Mupirocin. Don't just assume things will be OK with the regular triple antibiotic ointment. Don't let the wound dry out or it will heal badly and slow. And feel free to bother the Doctors.

I'm sure you knew this, but hey! I'm really sorry this has happened to you.

jesus laz, flakey is right! there are really scary bugs out there just waiting to eat you alive. Triple antibiotic ointment( what is that?) doesn't do shit anymore, run! run and hide!
or on the other hand, so to speak, take it easy. I know you are going to want to get back in there and pump it but there is no rush. You look pretty young, take it from an older fucker the only thing you are going to do by rushing your rehab is to mess yourself up for years to come.
Have a beer or two, lay back and when you are properly ready give it some.
Good luck

You and Frosted both have good advice. That's the first thing the doc did, was put me on antibiotics with explicit instructions to see it through. I know well the dangers of bacterial infections. A good friend of mine contracted MRSA, and unknowingly gave it to his son, due to supervisory negligence, and his employer refused to pay for the doctor's visits. Good ol' Wyoming.

And you're right, my first instinct will be to get back into the gym, but I will employ some restraint, and when I do go back I will do so appropriately.

Hold the beer, but you're welcome to split a Black & Mild with me.

So yesterday was my last day off from work, and I was determined to re-establish my rhythm, after it has been so disrupted this week due to mandatory overtime.

My plan was to hit the gym, have a badass workout, followed by a plate of homemade nachos, and an evening spent in the company of a good book, a setting sun, and a Black & Mild.

Instead, on my third rep, I have to dump the weight, and 455lbs bounces off my right middle finger, trapped between that weight and the safety pin. So there I am, with a middle finger that resembles an exploded hot dog placed in a microwave. A trip to the hospital later, and now I'm high on percocet facing down at least ten days of inactivity. Dammit.

See, this is EXACTLY why people like you are going to be dead in five years but I'll be prone, lying on a couch watching old movies that I've seen 17 times before....perfectly happy with my extra large bowl of ice cream.

So I find out next Tuesday when I see an ortho doc if the finger will heal up, or if they're just gonna amputate it. Wish me luck.

Lazarus, with such an important medical decision pending, I hope you have considered getting 2nd/3rd doctor opinions. Especially true if you live in an (rural?) area that might not attract top talent or support more advanced therapies. Wish you the best outcome. By sharing your story, you've made me be more careful at the gym -thanks.

That sucks. 10 days of inactivity? Whats wrong with the rest of your body? Can't sit around and let the rest atrophy because of a finger. work around it. Unless the doctore said absolutely no working out.

With that type of weight i guess it was either squats, deadlifts or bench. My money is on squats. You gots to be mo careful. Women love men with nimble fingers.

Could be worse, I once tore my diaphragm.

Did you become pregnant?

Dammit, you beat me to it!

Laz, you've certainly had your share of it last year and this. Hope that's it, and good health is yours once again for a good long time (like forever!!) Get well soon, buddy.

Just had a hard time breathing and swallowing for a while.

Hmmm, well, at least you can't get pregnant that way...
