Not content to have tried to cut off a finger last fall, the Grand Chap tried for a whole hand this time.One of his power tools in his woodworking shop bucked and cut across the back of his other hand severing tendons and shattering bones in one finger and breaking them in two others. He severed tendons as well and required surgery.
Bones set, pins in place, and tendons re-attached we came home the same day as the surgery but have several weeks of recovery time while he learns how to function with only one hand for now. I have been quite occupied with trying to figure that out with him. Knowing it could have been so much worse we are happy to know that it is only temporary and he will eventually have almost full use of his hand once again!
Holy Cow ...this scared the crap out of me . I can only imagine how you felt and your poor husband. Bad bad power tool !!!!!! Never a dull moment and so happy he will still have use of his hand.
Aaakk! Reminds me of another injury prone gentleman who did similar things! Best wishes for speedy healing as I am certain he's not a patient patient!! And about the photo...ick!!
Oh wow- yikes- thank goodness I can scroll past the picture! Praying the Grand Chap will not have too much discomfort while his hand mends and thanking the Lord it was not more severe.
Oh no! I hope he has a speedy recovery and please don't pull all your hair out while he is recovering. So hard to be dependent on others for many of the tasks of daily living. Please give him my best.
Oh dear. Not sure if it’s a clever idea to operate things with one hand if doing things with two hand prove to be a challenge. I hope everything turn out ok!
Wow, that would have been traumatic for you both. I hope he is okay and you are both taking things easy. I wish I lived closer so I could help you in some way. I’ll send my love instead xxx
@eudora@homeschoolmom@madamelucy thank you so much for your positive wishes. He is already feeling much better and is expected to improve almost completely
That poor man. That looks so painful. I do pray that it heals well and that you both make it through. Somehow I am pretty sure that you have the kind of relationship that Tom and I do and will do whatever it takes to help the other. Tell the Grand Chap he just hit my prayer list.
Best wishes to both of you!
