Actually, I am a bit more subdued....I cut down 7 trees very carefully and chipped the branches very carefully. Yes, it could have been so much worse...but its no fun being a lefty and typing and useing a mouse. I keep telling myself the swelling will go down and there will be enough feeling to remove a spark plug or pick up a cookie. Just takes time. Right now, the hand to the first joint is fine but a bit swollem The joint to the wound stiches is not too bad. I could pick things up but I have to keep the joint limber. Above the stiches (now out) its pretty numb but better on the down side. The doc and PT guy doesnt want me babying it. They want me to massage it with hand lotion twice a day. This is day 24 so its gonna take awhile. I figure it Scotty from STARTREK can loose his right middle finger on D day, I can deal with this. Thanks to all.

And they say motorcycle riding is dangerous.

Nah! Work and chores around the house lead by far in all accident statistics... just as this case here proofs again...

It hurts looking at the pics...
Hoping for a fast recovery...

Being HVAC engineer/installer, thus handling power tools most of my life, I did suffer some nicks of course (even came down a ladder or scaffold once or twice, not to mention braking through a rotted tar roof...), but never as bad as suffering a partial amputation... ouch!

Chris, do you enjoy old Rock and Roll bands? I say that because you seem to have a connection with the group Badfinger.

Seriously, I hope the numbness goes away and somewhat normal feeling returns. I would guess that could take some time.
