.........
We had one of those roller washing machines. My older sisters were playing a game of quickly sticking their fingers in it and pulling it out before it grabbed them. I was 4. I tried it of course, except it went in. I remembered waking up at the dr office with my mom. I still have the scar on my right palm, star shaped it is.
Oh, my….that is a scary memory. Glad mom warned me, repeatedly.
Ouch
holy crap...I though I was the only yahoo to do sonething like that.. same thing happened to me when I was 4.
If a lady hadn’t come along and beat the rollers apart, it would have ripped my left arm off.
as it was, I ended up with blisters on my palm side fingers.
I bit the blisters leaving scar tissue from the upper palm thru the fingers.
Doctors called the scar tissue, keloids.
First 3 fingers on my left hand were curled into my palm from that time on.
My lovely bride put my wedding band on the right hand.
I lived with it for almost forever. no doctor would touch it.
To make a long story short(I know...too late for that)
I had Dupuytren’s contracture on my ring finger of my left hand.
I asked the ortho if he could also fix my injured fingers. (in about 2006)
He fixed 2 of the 3 affected fingers and I have been able to wear my wedding band
on my left hand ever since.
His instructions were, if something goes wrong in the surgery, leave my fingers curled...so I could still play golf.
