mad1 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hi all as some of you might know i trapped my hand at work 2 years ago ... I'm now left with only my thumb and first finger working on my left hand ...my other 3 fingers and clenched solid !!! Iv had 4 day ops to hospital where my arm was numbed and my fingers were forced open.. not a nice sight or sound to hear them crack !!!! Iv just been told I'm going back to hospital in April to get them straightened and pinned ... oh I cant wait ... Has anyone else on here had anything similar done as I'm wondering what the scaring will he like ?? I know they are leaving the rods in permanently and the will be set near enough straight ?? If nothing else I'll get up to 4 month of work payed ... but those who know me will know i can't sit still long enough !! So this is also a message to those who have asked me out to come with them but iv not been able to as i have struggled with simple day to day things sometimes.... and an apology as i must have been a pain in the **** at times ...sorry lads and im hopefully going to get out soon after Cheers Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCat Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I had 3 and a half tendons reconnected and the back of my hand was totally open and packed with glass, looked like the terminator when he fixes his one minus the metal of course. You can barely see any scarring. Lots of swelling and painful the next day so make sure you have something substantive to take the edge off it. My gp proscribed some serious stuff that gave me days of zero recollections and many amused friends recounting the surreal conversations I had no idea we had. You'll be fine I'm sure. Best of luck.

Lord Geordie Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hope it all goes well Scott! Had a friend who had a problem with tendons needing repaired in his hand! The scars weren't bad at all. Hope the young un is getting on OK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
