update on my hubby :)
Hey girls!
Just wanted to come in and thank you all again for the positive thoughts and prayers. I truly believe that having SO many people praying really really helped my husband get through. Things did not look so good at first... When the accident happened and we were at the clinic I was really scared  . Thankfully darcy had a great hand surgeon who was able to find away to save his fingers. We went back to the clinic yesterday to see the attending dr that was there when he first went in and the dr was quite surprised about how well things went. Darcy has been home since wednesday and I am just so happy and relieved to have him home. It was a very long two days having him at the hospital and not being able to be there with him He is doing really good all things considered. I think I spend more time telling him to get sit down than anything.. he has a bit of a hard time with not being able to do certain things and it bugs him a bit, I'm telling him to get used to it  haha. We go to calgary next week for them to have a look at it, get a new splint and I think the pins in his finger come out (not sure on that) and he will start the physio therapy. Thankfully we only have to go to calgary for the first couple times as it is quite aways away. Anyways just wanted to say thanks one more time because I honestly believe that without the prayers the outcome would have been so different.edited to add: just so there is no confusion (and well not that anyone really wants to know the icky details) none of his fingers were completely OFF but his pinky was quite close.. the accident happened with a table saw and his hand went in the saw at the knuckles.. so where the knuckles are is where he got cut and the knuckles broken etc.. I am actually quite curious to talk to his dr when we go see him because apparently they used cartilage from somewhere else to put in the pinky and well I'm interested in how they did it. haha

I'm so glad to hear that he's doing better than expected! As for being a bad patient for you, I think it's just a guy thing. I hope the appointment and therapy go well.

I'm glad to hear it's not as bad as it could have been!! That's a scary situation. I agree with Rachel - men are not good patients!! I hope the recovery continues to go well, and I'm still sending prayers and happy healing thoughts

Having had broken 5 fingers at once (possibly 6, as one of the fingers was so swollen they couldn't tell) with the garage door, I have only a hint of what he must be going through. It is going to be tough for him - you never realize how much you use and rely on your fingers to do basic tasks until you lose the use of them. He's going to need a lot of patience and support (which it sounds like he has), because he is going to get frustrated a lot. At least he can sit and watch the Olympics during his recovery.
I wish him the best and quickest recovery possible, and for you a load of patience to help you through as well.

Glad to hear they saved his fingers! My hubby got sever frostbite in one hand and it took him over a year to get used to the limited movement (especially in the winter) with his fingers. He couldn't hold anything in that hand for so long, it was really frustrating for him. But with physio and determination he's able to do so much more now.
Good luck with the recovery process, and stay strong! :-)
