Having ten fingers is overrated.
Mood:  accident prone
Hi everyone, for those of you who haven't heard, my middle finger on my right hand was recently crushed off. To make a long story boring, I had an 800lb. safe on a dolly and due to the mud underneath my feet my hand ended up between the dolly and the safe.

Right now the doctors aren?t sure if I'm going to be able to keep it... It all depends on how it heals. In the event that I lose it, the finger will be amputated half way down to allow for enough healthy skin to grow over the nub. As of right now the bones in the tips of my two fingers have been shattered into roughly 12 pieces each and that is where most of the pain is currently emanating from. It is too early to do surgery to reconstruct the bone because the doctors are afraid to damage the tissue further, and there is no point reconstructing the bone if the tissue isn't going to heal because the finger will be coming off anyway.

When the accident originally happened, my two fingers were actually flat. The bone in my middle finger was sticking out of the finger "pad" (right where your finger print would be). I screamed for about three seconds at which point I just sat down and tried my hardest not to pass out. People think that you go into shock and can?t feel what?s happening? that is bullshit. Because 95% of the nerves in your finger are right down at the tip, this was the most physical pain I have ever experienced in my life to date.

Here are the pictures of my bloody nub a few days after it got sewed back on. Trust me; the pictures make it look better than it actually is.

I will do my best to keep you all updated on the situation. So check back here for weekly updates.
