I was working on a floor today for a new piece of a shed dad and I am building. I was using large staples with a pneumatic gun to put the frame to the sheeting on the floor. I was working too quickly, shot the gun but didn't have it flat on the surface. The staple propelled by 100psi of air flew into my hand. I didn't have a camera to take a picture of it actually *IN* my hand, but I did have the ER save the staple. I yelled at the neighbor (I was at mom and dads) he and his grandson came over, called Joe'l on the phone and she came and got me. I got some lidocaine (the shots were 10x worse than the staple in my hand) injected in my hand, that made the pain go away. The doctor pulled the staple out, I got an Xray to make sure it hadn't damaged the bone, everything is ok and I'm on Keflex to prevent infection. Now what you've all been waiting for, THE PICTURES!
A distance shot, to give perspective.
This is where the staple was embedded, I'm not
sure which of these marks are from shots and
which are from the staple.
Here's the staple. As you can see, it's not from
your desk stapler!
Here's the staple on my hand.
OUCH!
