Well, I've really done it this time.
Chopping up old timbers on the big power saw on friday, and a nail in the timber caught my glove and dragged my left hand into the saw blade.
Sawed through the back of my hand. cut through the index finger bone, thumb and middle finger bones. severed the tendons for the index, middle and the next finger. nicked half through the thumb tendon and vein, and stripped the skin from the back of my hand.
they flew me up to Morriston hospital in Swansea to the plastic surgery unit.
those wonderful surgeons managed to save my hand and all my fingers.
they sent me home this morning because I wouldn't stay in bed anyway.
in plaster now up to the elbow, and will be for the next six weeks.
FFS Diver, I've told you before: READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!
Seriously, really sorry to hear that. Hope it still works properly once it's fixed
