Safety

My first look at what I did today and I was very very surprised at the extent of my cut. The surgeon had to turn me into a mark of Zorro to find my tendons to stitch them back together. 3 months before I have full strength again

Looks like you'll have a reminder there for ever unfortunately

[Bob Carriere]

....so much per stitches.

He obviously had some searching to do to repair the tendons. You are lucky medecine has made huge progress ..... but it does look good and clean but it is still mending on the inside.

Good luck and don't rush doing heavy things until you are in full control of that hand.

Cheers

Hope you're not a southpaw Colin. Makes things a little easier if it's your off-hand that is out of action.
Having said that, I know a fellow who lost an arm in a shooting accident when he was a young man. He's gone on to run a steel construction/engineering business and is currently building a 60' all steel side wheel river boat in his spare time. It's amazing what he can do with one arm including operation of a large lathe. But perhaps I shouldn't be encouraging you?
All the best for a speedy recovery.

Glad to see you're on the mend Colin. Best of luck with the recovery process.

Hi Colin, I am sorry to hear you have done yourself a mischief.
Is Simone pampering you?
I very much hope you haven't done any permanent harm. I have a few issues with arthritis in my wrists and hands and so can sympathise with the frustration you are heading into, over the next month or two.
Get well speedily, my friend.
