Stupid, stupid, stupid. I got in a hurry today and got shot by the tip of a 15 gauge nail into the side of my right index finger, right at the first knuckle. Ouch. I think it only went in about 1/16" or less, but it did stop when it hit the bone. It barely bled, but MAN is it sore tonight. (Can you tell I'm typing funny?!!)
Earlier, I could bend it most of the way, but now it sticks out like a sore "index finger". It probably chipped the bone a little. The skin has barely a knick on it, but the knuckle is sure sore.
I was on a ladder, 10' in the air, safety glasses and hearing protection were on. I was nailing above my head with my left hand (Senco SFN2), pointing to the right, and holding the back piece with my right hand, just a little too close, I might add. My gun was slightly off horizontal, and the nail just missed the piece I was holding. It hit the corner, and then bent upwards, and then it hit my finger. I jerked away VERY quickly and said "OUCH" really loud (no profane words, thank you very much!).
No bandaid needed. I think it will take a few days to get it back to normal. A good reminder for me to not do stupid things. And like I said - it could have been a LOT worse!
