Viewer discretion advised

After I posted about the hatchet versus thumb incident, some readers have requested pictures (morbid people!). I don't have pictures of when it actually happened but I do have some pictures of when I removed the piece of thumb that did not reattach.


If you are squeamish, PLEASE DO NOT go past this point. You have been warned!

After soaking in warm salt water

That black blob is the dead chunk of flesh

Detaching while still soft

Some blood vessels had reattached

But not enough to save the thumb tip

There wasn't much bleeding... this time

Still juicy

All finished!
