Bass_Fanatic Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I have been taught many things from my parents and grandparents over my lifetime. For instance, dont pee into the wind. It makes sense and I am smart enough not figure out that its a bad idea. But, yesterday I ignored advice that I once recieved and payed the price. I was cutting fishing line out of my trolling motor. The prop wouldnt come off, so I had to pull it out just enough to wedge my knife in there to cut the line. Well, like an idiot (I knew better), I was cutting towards my body. The line cut, then the knife kept coming and cut me across my nose. I dropped the knife and figured it had to do something, but I didn't really feel much. I then walked inside, hollared for my wife to come look and see if it was cut bad and then the blood started coming. My wife showed up just in time to see the blood squirting out and she immediately said we are going to the hospital. I refused to go until I saw it in a mirror. I had just about cut it completely off, I mean, it was just barely hanging on. So, to make a long story short (or shorter), I went to the ER and they sewed my nose back on. 11 stiches and a little glue later, I feel pretty good, but my face still looks terrible. I have learned my lesson though, listen to the old advise you recieved from the old timers...they really do know best, and learn from me, dont cut towards your body. P.S.: My wife pretty much passed out and was dry heeving when she saw it. Needless to say, shes not in school to be a nurse. Quote

BassChaser57 Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Since it did not happen to me---I don't care who you are -- that is funny right there. Get better soon and I wanna see pics of your nose. I think of the old Jack Nicholson movie (China Something) where the bad guys cut his nose--you could use that story. Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 Haha...I thought it was kinda funny too, but the wife sure didnt. And sorry guys, no pics were taken. Everything happened so fast, pics were the last thing on my mind. Quote

preach4bass Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 My grandfather was helping a guy put on a tin roof, and piece of the tin slipped out of his buddy's hand, and slid off the roof, hitting my grandfather in the head. Thankfully, he was wearing a hard-hat. But, the tin slid down the front of his hat and cut his nose right off his face. The doctors sewed it back on, but he had an awesome scar the rest of his life.

Oscar O. Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Haha...I thought it was kinda funny too, but the wife sure didnt. And sorry guys, no pics were taken. Everything happened so fast, pics were the last thing on my mind. Pics of the scar or or something? That should be proof enough But that must have been a real sight to see in the mirror, glad that you're okay man. Quote
Super User grimlin Posted April 13, 2011 Super User Posted April 13, 2011 I think I would have passed out if I saw my nose just hanging there.... Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 16, 2011 Global Moderator Posted April 16, 2011 I about cut the end of my finger off trying to cut a cinnimon roll in half about a month ago. I've got some pictures of that if it will satisfy anyones bloodlust. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted April 17, 2011 Super User Posted April 17, 2011 Well, at least you know the knife is sharp. Theres nothing worse than a dull knife..... ......especially when you're trying to cut off part of your face. Wokka wokka!! Glad they got it reattached and everything worked out in the end for you. BTW, I hope you got the TM freed up. After all that, it better be running great. Quote
shootermcbob Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 I am glad you are going to be ok. Way too close...could have been one of your eyes. Were you wearing safety glasses??? Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 No...no safety glasses. But I did learn one thing...P-Line is some tuff stuff to cut haha! Quote
Super User bassfisherjk Posted April 18, 2011 Super User Posted April 18, 2011 WOW! Glad your ok. Quote
B-Dozer Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Maybe I'm missing something(not my nose) did you get the prop cleared? Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 The prop is now clear of line...but unfortunately I think the line broke a seal. Quote
B-Dozer Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 better let someone else fix it. should be an easy fix, surprised the line cut it though. Quote
detroit1 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 More times than not, we old - fogies know what we're talking about, or, at least, have a clue. Quote
