Paul-I'm not on much lately, but am pulling for a speedy recovery for your finger. Your attitude towards the pain amazes me. Hopefully you'll be back picking locks, honing and straight-shaving again soon (if you're not already knowing you). My attitude is "Hardcore 'til you can't no more." I can tell you roll the same way. Be well, buddy!
There are many roads to sharp.

Thanked: 56Paul,
Just wondering if there is an update. Any improvement in the pain at least?If you're wondering I'm probably being sarcastic.

Yes. I took Advil for three days and now I don't need anything. It feels weird and is itchy but I think it's the rods making it feel funny. I'll know more next Thursday when I go back to see the surgeon. They will remove the splint and determine if it is healing okay and if they need to amputate any of it. Personally I think it will be fine. I can wiggle it a little in that giant hockey goalie glove looking thing they have me in so I'm hopeful. With any luck they'll ee-wrap it where at least my forefinger is out so I can function a little. Thanks again to all for the wishes.

So, I had my follow-up with the surgeon yesterday and it looks like they think I'll get to keep my finger. she was pretty pleased with the way it's healing although it's really ugly to look at. I was calling it my Frankenstein's finger. Again I would post some pictures but it's not for the squeamish. Here is an x-ray picture though. Those are pins in my finger, 3 of them.
They took the wrap off and put a cast on it. Of course I had to get Tampa Bay Lightning colors. Go Bolts.
I can't express how much I appreciate all the concern and well wishes. Thanks again to all.Last edited by PaulFLUS; 10-09-2020 at 12:20 PM.
