Hi you all,
It has been a while since I was here an since I've been cutting in my workshop.
4th of May I cut into my finger as you might know.
Terrible healing process ever since.
After 6 weeks of agony the doc pulled out a hidden piece of fingernail....
About 1/3 of my whole fingernail.
I between I had developed necrosis.
A part of what was stitched back did died and became black.
About 2,5 week ago doc did cut of 85% of the dead tissue, only problem was the anesthetic didn't work well.
And he did removed an other 1/3 healthy fingernail.
I'm quite angry about that.
Meanwhile my joints got "frozen " so overall a painful process.
But think it's going the right way now.
Enjoy my vacation and started with exercise now.
Can't wait till The last parts of dead tissue and scabs will fall of.
Bin over 3 months now....
So I woul like to go back cutting some wood again.

I am so sorry to hear of all you have been through. That sounds so terrible. I am glad you seem to finally be heading in the right direction. I hope you heal and can be pain free soon. (((HUGS))) Sheila

Sounds as though you have been through the mill. Maybe now that you are recovering, things will turn around and become more positive.
-
MAN! That sounds like you have been through some terrible pain and frustration. Hope it all goes a whole lot better from here on out.
-
That has been one tough journey. Glad to hear you are finally on the road to mending.

Hey there friend!

Cutting fingers is a "no/no"!!!!!
Glad the healing process is in motion and your return to "cutting wood" should be soon.....
HUGZZZZZZZZZZZ

.... long story.....
May 4th the accident.
Necrosis was cut of July 21th.
just a small part of that was left there and had to grow off.
didn't happen so back to the surgeon this week....
first time since May they made an X-ray
bad results, seems that that piece of necrosis is actually a loose piece of bone sticking out.
It didn't grow back to the digit and they will remove that part.
while they are in there... they dull the piece that's stays in the finger.
so back to surgery, is planned for October 21th....
...long story....
:( :'(

I am so sorry to hear of the long recovery. Sometimes thing just take more time than other. I am sad for the pain you are going through. Hang in there and keep in touch with us. Hopefully after the next surgery, you will be well on your way to healing properly. (((HUGS)))

Well poop! :( But hang in there ;D Read, relax and plan for all the things will do when everything is all better. Sounds like the doctor should have been keeping better tabs on this situation. Remember they only have a license to "practice"

Oh Marcel I do hope that this will be your final surgery and that everything starts to heal properly after that, you have been in pain long enough. HUGZZZZZ from Australia

Thanks for all your prayers !
almost passed the 6 months mark now... ::)
yesterday I went back for an other surgery.
Doctor did cut out a loose piece of bone that already did stick out partially.
he did cut out the 1/8" piece of fingernail including wedge of the nail-base to prevent it from growing back.
And finally he did cut of 1/8" of the first digit that had the shape of a sharpened pencil and did made the finger really painful in use or hitting/touching stuff.
so back to square one....
there is a gap/hole now and this has to grow/fill with tissue and doctor says this can take 3 months.
then another 3 months for healing/recovering.
back to prayers, I hardly have any pain, so I'm really grateful for that and so prayers work.
The knowledge that so many pray comforts me, so thanks you all !

Let's hope it is all up hill from now on. We are here for you. Wish you had access to a better specialist.
-
Ouch, you have my sympathies, (don't know if that is spelled right but you should know what I mean)
-
here's a picture of the special foam bandage called polymem
this foam makes it grow better and let the gap fill/grow.
making progress, no real pain, only when I bounce it into things.... ::)
Thank you all for your nice words.
