TomFoolery Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Recipe for putting your life (music/skiing/biking) on hold for a year. This is what the outside of my arm looks like two weeks after falling on some metal flashing and severing my ulner artery and 7 tendons governing the use of my right hand. Yes, I'm right-handed. I think I'm fairly lucky to be alive given the blood loss - and, I'm healing up well. But, it's a head-trip thinking about the recovery and the what ifs... Don't try this at home!

dancingbear Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 <<>>> hoping for a full recovery. depending on the blood loss you probably are lucky to be alive! i remember i was on call for the PICU one night as a residcent and this 4 year old kid came in after severing her brachial artery from falling off a swing...i was so happy that she a) lived, and did not lose her arm...but one LONG stressful night for the both of us.

TomFoolery Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks again.I just managed to move my fingers a bit this week. Doesn't sound like much, but for the last three weeks I've had to let the repairs heal without moving them - so, I couldn't help but wonder if the tendon repairs had actually taken...
