Friday night, Adam fell down the stairs and tried to stop falling by reaching out for the other wall....right into a shadow box! He fell down the stairs anyway and severed an artery and tendons in his finger of his RIGHT hand! After an ER visit, a tourniquet, stitches, cussing, and yes...lots of blood....we are now waiting to see a hand surgeon tomorrow (Monday).
When the ER doc stitched him up, I was able to watch and it was disturbing to see him lift his whole finger away from the bone. I could see the severed tendon and his bones! Everything, but the bone was essentially cut off and connected by some skin on the front of the finger. He is now discovering that he may be out of work for quite awhile. It is very painful right now, even though he can't feel his finger...hopefully after the surgery he will?!?
