    Need some good thoughts for my hubby..

    Stuart had an accident today that has resulted in a badly injured left hand, a crushed ring finger. So far they've managed to save his finger, but there is a strong possiblity that he will loose at least part of it. He is in absolute agony tonight. His hand is wrapped so much it looks like he's wearing a ball glove, but there are exposed nerves and pins holding it together. Even the tiniest bump on one of those would be unbearable. There is a hand specialist coming up next week. He will do a full assessment to determine if Stuart can keep the finger, if there is tendon damage ect.

    It's going to be a long week waiting for the doc to get here!

    Oh, ow. That just sounds painful. I'm so sorry to hear about Stuart's hand, that has to be excruciating. I hope they're able to save all of his finger, but, I know regardless of what happens, he'll come through with flying colors. From what you've said, and, the spirit in you...I know he's a strong willed man and won't let this stop him for too long. I will be thinking of you both and hoping the doctor can get there soon!

    So sorry to hear about Stuart's hand Glacier. Both of you are some of the strongest and most determined people we've ever had the pleasure to meet. No matter what happens, he'll rise above this. Does he have any good drugs for the pain? I'm sure he could use some. My thoughts and prayers are with you both

    Thanks Barry!

    Prayers for Stuart. I hope the specialist can help save his finger and that the next few days pass quickly.

    *OUCH* My son had almost the same kind of injury awhile back. Him and a guy were moving a lot of steel the guy helping my son let go of his end. It landed on my sons finger. It cut the tip of his finger off. It was horrible. They thought they might have to amputate his finger but they didnt thank goodness. He was in so much pain. Like your husband, any bump to his finger about sent him into orbit. Your hubby will be in my thoughts.

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

    Oh no! I can't even imagine how painful that must be! Just barely smashing your finger hurts so badly!! I pray that they are able to save his finger, and I hope that he has some good pain medication to take!!!
