Just a quick update. The pain had eased off to the point I didn't need the pills they gave me anymore but it started back up last night so I had to get up and take one. Maybe had something to do with the temperature drop. Mid forties here in Georgia last night, where it had been in the 60's at night. Anyway, pain can be a good thing because at least I know there is not much nerve damage. I didn't get into details Friday because of being so tired but the doctor basically wired my finger back together and inserted 2 temporary pins like (as he put it) a shish-kabob. He left the end of the pins sticking out so they can be removed later when things have healed up some. Then the index and middle fingers were wrapped, covered with plaster, and then bandaged to prevent movement and the possibility of knocking the end of those pins against something. I go back to check on progress on the 4th. Thanks for all the concern and well wishes, and I'll keep you all updated.
