Although it could have turned out worse - I consider myself very lucky to have a neighbor with enough good sense to drive me straight to the Leicester
Royal Infirmary , I was in A&E just twenty minutes after the accident (which certainly improved my chances of saving the end of my finger)
Its cuz I is blond , innit

The bit sticking out is a wire 'splint' that runs through the now non-existent end joint , which was too damaged to save .

Slow
I still have very little movement and virtually no feeling in the two worst damaged fingers . The wire comes out next Tuesday - maybe things will
start to improve then

I just spent 4 hours at A&E today.........and now I'm sitting here feeling slightly sick
The ring finger with the destroyed end joint , that had a wire down the middle for six weeks to fuse the bones together isnt fused......... It felt
like it moved , so I touched the tip , and it does , with a sickening clicking feeling .
So I went to the hospital , to get it checked out - and on the x-ray there is clearly a gap where there shouldnt be
I now need to see the consultant , but that cant happen till Monday - so two days of worry for me , right when I was starting to feel a bit better ( I
even managed an afternoon if TIG'ing yesterday  )
Its cuz I is blond , innit

Considering myself lucky now. I got a blade on the end of the finger that cut in and pulled away from the nail. It bled everywhere and hurt like
buggery. Steri strips just floated off it. Hope yours get sorted soon. Cold weather probably doesn't help either.

useless NHS
Still no progress....................I've seen a hand specialist , who decided a permanent pin and bone graft is needed .
So I turned up at the hospital - having had a light breakfast at 6.30 am then nill by mouth - at 11 as I was told to . Sat by a bed all
day...............then at 6.30 pm I'm told the op has been cancelled
Why ? Because I didnt turn up .....................
I had been booked into the wrong ward/department , and the consultant didnt know I was there - and what makes it even more annoying was the contact
number they have for me is my mobile , which was in my pocket all day
So..................try again Monday....................if I dont chop the bloody thing off myself over the weekend (and believe me , I am thinking
about it )
Its cuz I is blond , innit

Bloody hell Claire. Sorry to hear that.
My local hospital has a pretty poor reputation so I'm afraid that sort of thing does not really surprise me.
Hope you get sorted soon.

PS I am nearly ready to start my KL.
