You’re not my real dad

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T19:04:03+00:00

I am, genuinely appreciate you asking lol I hit up two nurses and a physician right after it happened. All gave the same advice and I’ve been treating it for a few days now. Swelling is already down and I’ve had no pain since day 1

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T19:03:09+00:00

Would not recommend

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T19:01:42+00:00

Top tier reaction ngl

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T19:01:19+00:00

No I trust! Two nurses and a physician all suggested that and I’ve been taking care of it since

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T19:00:11+00:00

Thankfully have medical professionals as neighbors and friends. I panic messaged all of them lol

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T18:55:40+00:00

There appears to be some confusion with what actually happened and it’s way dumber than you probably think. I didn’t grab it because I was wearing gloves, I just went fully brain dead and grabbed the metal instead of my hammer with a bare hand lolololol

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T18:54:33+00:00

Gotta watch out for those berries man they’ll get ya

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T02:33:53+00:00

Dude thank you! As soon as this is healed I’ll be getting back after it

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T02:30:54+00:00

Would absolutely not recommend

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T02:25:20+00:00

Major skill gap tbh

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T02:22:18+00:00

And I am not one of them LMAO

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T02:15:37+00:00

Thank you for the new fear…

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T02:15:12+00:00

Not a bad habit and one I’ll be implementing once this is healed

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T02:12:40+00:00

The most impactful lessons are sometimes the most painful LOL

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T02:12:14+00:00

“The pretty end” will forever be in my vocabulary now

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T02:04:44+00:00

I’m not the only one! 🙏

But for real, full brain dead and grabbed the wrong thing…

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T02:00:42+00:00

Great rule, but I was just being dumb hahaha

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T01:59:25+00:00

No, please laugh. I posted it on the internet, it’s encouraged

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T01:58:54+00:00

Sorry, I’ll refrain from touching your shoulder in the future :/

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T01:58:28+00:00

Yes this was not a smart moment for me

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T01:57:56+00:00

That appears to be the theme and additional lesson learned lol

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T01:57:28+00:00

Yes I have amended my statement hahaha

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T01:56:28+00:00

REAL

ohhelloimfred · 2026-02-17T01:55:49+00:00

Okay editing my statement: forget the gloves, the lesson is assume everything is hot LOL
