So I went to the DR yesterday to get my cast off. They cut my finger open and re arranged the bones, then put a pin in, and a button ON MY FINGER to hold it all in place.

I snapped a quick photo before they wrapped it all up again.

The white thing at the end is a pin that runs the entire length of my finger, and is pulled out in a few weeks by the white thing.

I just thought the button was cool.

Wow, that's high tech. Reminds me of Kaiser.

I think if I took another shot at school, I'd consider being a surgeon.

you say that now, you haven't seen the other side, where the stitches are, not so sure I should post it.

Picture a "V" shape from your middle knuckle to the palm, and to the end of your finger, then they flapped it back and played with the bones....

That's why I was on 10-15 percs a day...stoned out of my mind all last week.

Sober now.

Owwwwwwwwwwwwww!

There used to be this operation show on the discovery channel, of real life surgeries.

I remember this cosmetic one distinctly where they pulled this lady's face up over the bridge of her nose and sawed her upper jaw off and relocated it.


Funny how I can watch that stuff, yet I refuse to watch the gory violent stuff (unless it's fake).

hm. that had to sting.

Still does, and probably will till next year, I figure Feb before I'm back to normal.

Nice job on the finger, I had a piece of cast iron crush my finger nail a few yeas ago, The doc sewed on a piece of foil paper he ripped off a wrapper to act as a fake nail to encourage a new one to grow back. Guy did a great job. Save the button

Looks like a sewing session gone way wrong. Looks painful. But yes, very high tech.

Here's the sewing session. They flipped my finger open on this side, on the lines you can see...
