Sorry if you are squeemish, but I mentioned in an earlier post about Sams accident. This photo was taken a week after the surgery, it shows the cut/stitches on his wrist where the graft was taken. The bruising is a combination of trauma from the vein graft and blood thinners. Fortunately, you can't see the finger that was damaged, it was a partial degloving and very nasty. We had a wonderful surgeon who did 4 hours of microsurgery to save the finger. We now just have to hope and pray that all of the physiotherapy works and he gets more movement/usage.

  2. He took the kids to the playground and got his ring caught on part of the equipment, he kept going and the ring didn't and just ripped up his finger. He was VERY lucky. It has been just on 3 months since it happened.
