Ooouch!
« on: February 24, 2012, 01:03:33 PM »
I was tying up a few flies last night and in the process my scissors slid off my bench. I instinctively tried to catch them but they hit my leg and I drove the point of them deeeeep into my hand. Had to pull them back out of the meat in my hand and stop the bleeding so I could finish the fly.

Today when I move it just right I get a sharp pain just like the one I felt when they went in. Hope that goes away...

I hope you cleaned it out really well. I did something similar a couple years back and wound up with a nasty infection...   
Those are some really nice looking flies! Something tells me those are going to get chewed on soon!

Mike, hopefully you will start feeling an itching sensation that is your body telling you that it is healing. Just keep it clean

Very nice flies!

I haven't stabbed myself with scissors before but I do have an uber sharp Spyderco knife that I rotate in my daily carry and I was wiping the blade off (tape residue) and rolled my finger over the edge. Didn't even feel it cut. 1/4" into my flesh - OUCH!!!

Great looking flies Mike...sorry about the hand.  What kind of setup do you need to throw something that size?
