did you get most/all of your fingers stuck back on?

I lost my pointing finger just above the knuckle, they put the others back on. Pinky is working pretty good. Middle finger just got tendons today so it wait and see. My other one is never going to really work, but it is there, And my thumb made it out without any damage, just a small scratch.​

So how is your wrist now???

Thanks for asking; lots of nerve damage (from the surgeries) but it doesn't hurt and still works, kinda. You just learn to compensate by strengthening your forearm muscles and don't move it the wrong way. I was in pain all the time before the surgery so its a trade off.

So how long did everybody stay numb?? I'm still numb and they told me it would wear off by early evening

at least you aren't in pain. I'm amazed at how people learn to compensate

I had my surgery at 9am. The block wore off while I was sleeping at night. Everything felt great the next morning. Around 2 pm the day after surgery the pain hit me. I had not loaded up on Percoset as advised and i had to go to the ER because the pain was so intense. They gave me some Diladid. After that I took my Percoset like a good boy.

I had some tumors removed from my arm once but they didn't have to numb the whole thing. I thought the weirdest thing was being able to feel them digging around in my arm for the tumors but it wasn't painful, I could just feel the pressure of them moving around in there. Very odd.

I hope your surgery went well and you regain as much function as possible.
