As the title states I’ve got bad hands and my hobbies include Rock Climbing, Piano, Golf, and Running. Suffice to say I can’t do shit.
This was a tricky operation as where the bend was is also where all the nerves and blood vessels are housed so there is risk of termination (loss of) the finger, loss of sensation, blood supply etc.
It was elective but the pros outweigh the risks for me with my hobbies and how they help me stay not sad.
Before. You can also see the scar from my first operation on the ring finger. As well as lots of flaky skin from climbing.
Jesus, is that necrotized flesh on your pinky???
hope you recover man, I just got over jaw surgery for a broken jaw. finally able to eat, dropped ~20lbs in 2 weeks (its certainly one of the ways of all time to drop weight,wouldn’t recommend tho lol)
Erm… I certainly hope it’s not necrosis as the nurse said all is healing well. I just think it’s intense bruising.
Thanks dude. Oof I think would rather this on all my digits than jaw surgery. That must have sucked hard.
What was the surgery for if you don’t mind me asking?
completely shattered left jawbone. happened april 29th, got surgery may 1st.
had to get 4 screws into a plate, and 4 more screws and 2 wires to hold it all in place (and my mouth shut) for 26 days. the plate and screws are never coming out, but the other 4 screws and wires came out yesterday. had A.Y.C.E sushi to celebrate. was a fun night.
all in all, broken jaw was a 2/10 experience, would not recommend.
look on the bright side tho, worst case for you, you get a cool-ass robot hand, and can make all the “yo gimme a hand here” jokes you can imagine.
Oof that sucks hard bro. Sorry you had to endure that. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain you v went through.
Wishing you a full recovery and be careful out there.
