Re: I had an accident;
Standing by for the wiggling fingers video. Good luck!
And, this wasn't your surgeon was it?

Re: I had an accident;
.
Here is a photo of Tom's most recent surgery, taken last night. He asked me to post it for him. The plastic surgeon seemed to think that scar tissue was growing around the reattached tendons, which did not allow them to move freely. In the last surgery, it was her intention to cut away the scar tissue and free the tendons. When she got in there, she found that the tendon was somehow detached. It it now her intention to operate a fourth time, in about a month. The wants to use spare tendons in his forearm and thread them through the same passages as the original tendons in his hand and attach them. Tom can add more to this and explain. He is on massive painkillers and had not been prescribed medications for inflammation. I talk to him almost daily and he is not a happy camper. The original surgery in November was originally supposed to sideline him for about a month and put him back on his feet by Christmas. .

Re: I had an accident;
Thank you John for posting this.
I am not a guy who is into drugs. In fact after the first two surgeries other than White Russians I took no pain killers. This time however, it's a different story. Sigh... I believe that the "hand fever" broke at 5:00 am today. It is still very numb, tingeling, AND in pain. And, yes, the lack of sleep/actual rest has made me less than a happy camper. Thanks to all of you that have put up with me and helped out. Sleepy time now. Tom

i guess i missed this, but hope you're doing well and have a speedy recovery. i've cut tendons in my left hand fingers, although not nearly as nasty-looking as that. when you're able, get yourself a guitar to get those hands and fingers back in shape (and look cool in the process  )easy on the painkillers, and drink *LOTS* of water. the constipation from the painkillers will make the pain in your hand an afterthought. good luck Tom.

Re: I had an accident;
Tom, I am heartbroken that you're having such a horrible time with this injury. If I can do anything to help let me know, even if its something as simple as coming up for a weekend and cleaning up around the house. You are in our prayers.

Re: I had an accident;
.
UPDATE: FRIDAY The continued swelling and redness of Tom's hand was determined to be an infection, not inflammation. His doctor gave him antibiotics and was moderating the redness. She admitted him to the hospital this afternoon to put him on an IV drip of antibiotics. He went through 2 bottles before they stopped for the evening around 8PM Rather than discharge him and re-admit him again tomorrow, They are keeping him overnight and resuming another round of IV antibiotics tomorrow morning. He may go home after that, depending on what the doctor says, or they may keep him over another night. If needed, I will be back in Cumberland tomorrow to take care of his dogs and see what else he needs. He will call me in the morning to give a progress report. Will report what I find out. .

Re: I had an accident;

UPDATE: SATURDAY MORNING: 11:00AM They started OT on his second round of IV antibiotics (2 bags) around noon. His surgeon came in later in the afternoon to evaluate his situation. I have a feeling she will want to keep him an additional night and do another round of IV's tomorrow (since it has only been about 18 hrs. since he stated taking them) There is a teenager who lives right around the corner who went to Tom's earlier this morning. The dogs know him and he fed them, let them out for exercise, etc. and will come back later secure the house for tonight. He will come back tomorrow to do this again. Tom tried to contact him yesterday, but did not get a call back until early this morning. This greatly relieved his anxiety. Hopefully a weekend full of antibiotics and wound care will jump-start Tom's healing. The still has another surgery to go through in about a month. That would be only a couple of days before Reading. I told him to ask the doctor if he could postpone it for a week, until after Reading. I will be out there whenever he needs me to, just over 2 hours away. UPDATE: SATURDAY EVENING: 9:45PM Tom is spending tonight in the hospital. They are starting him on a third round of IV antibiotics (1 bag) around midnight. Tomorrow they will do another (fourth) round of antibiotics (2 bags) for about 2 hours, starting at noon. I don't know if they discharge patients in the afternoons on weekends. They may just keep him Sunday night and discharge him Monday morning. His neighbor is still looking after his dogs. He said while his hand is still red and somewhat swollen, some of the swelling seems to have gone down and his hand is not as dark red and "angry" as it has been. UPDATE: SUNDAY AFTERNOON: 5:00PM As of now, Tom has just finished his most recent 4 hr. round of IV antibiotics( 2 bags) which started at noon. He saw his doctor today and she is keeping him one more night and discharging him tomorrow. He will get another infusion of antibiotics (1 bag), starting at midnight. Think it's going to be a "White Russian" night in Wiley Ford tomorrow... UPDATE: MONDAY EVENING: 10:00PM Final infusion of 2 bags of antibiotics began around noon and then discharged and home around 5:00PM. Party at Toms house. Two very happy dogs, four white Russians (for an even happier Tom), food from his own kitchen, and watching the History channel on his own TV. Did I mention a private room once again? Will probably continue on oral antibiotics and painkillers for a while. .

From there, our trip just begins, as we go through Wicassett (Red's Eats) and Young's Lobster Pound in Belfast for lobster rolls. Then push ahead to our final destination of Deer Isle, Stonington and Acadia (with a ferry trip to Isle Au Haut) I did this trip only once non-stop. I do not recommend it. By comparison, going to OT's is nothing. .
