Well....it has been a very stressfull few days here. Hubby came home from hospital today after having a accident Sunday. He was building a bookcase and working with a saw. The blade broke and cut his arm.It cut a tendon and into the muscle.Dr's did surgery to repair the tendon. He goes tomorrow to see a hand spe******t to see if more surgery is needed.

Goodness Francie, I am so sorry to hear this I was just thinking about you earlier and then I checked SP and 1st think I see is this sad news from you. I wish him a speedy recovery and you & yours all my best.

God Bless you, Cathy
 
Dang, Francie... So sorry. I was wonderin' where you'd been. Please let hubby know we wish a fast turn-about and will say a prayer for total healing and as painless a recovery as possible.
 
So sorry to hear that, Francie. Hope everything works out for him. Tendon healing, unfortunately, can be a long, sometimes painful, experience.

I know first hand, though, how easily accidents can happen with power tools. Almost lost two fingers in a router accident a couple of years ago. Doesn't matter how experienced you are, or how careful. Unlike hand tools, power tools don't know the difference between wood and flesh.
 
Thanks everyone for the prayers. We went to the Hand Dr today and good news and bad.He still has a lot of swelling but can move his fingers. The surgery to repair the Tendon was successfull. He does have a deficent in flexing his wrist but may get more movement when the swelling goes down.Dr said if everything is healed enough they may take the stitches out next week.But he will have to wear a brace on that arm a while.
 
Thanks for letting us know how it is going so far. I am so sad he had this accident in the first place, but I am glad he is on the road to healing!
 
That's terrific, Francie. If he has any movement at all this soon after the surgery than the prognosis has to be great.

And hey! A brace for a while, and maybe some physical therapy sure beats the alternative.

I'm so pleased for the both of you that it seems to be working out.
 
Thank god that is all it is. That is the one power tool I hate using the most. It is so easy to get yourself with them. My aunts husband recently lopped off his thumb. Overall if the doctor is right, you guys can chalk this one up to "It could have been much worse".

Good luck and god speed with the recovery!
 
You are so right Jafo....my nephew cut 3 of his fingers off and did major damage to his hand. I told hubby I was going to lock all his power tools up!
