Off to see the plastic surgeon
Had a bit of a accident last night and trapped my fingers ina very heavy fire door
Anyways the upshot is I spent from 7.45 till 11.30 in the casualty department and have to go back for 7.30 this morning to have surgery to see if I've damaged any tendons, Its a bit messy at the moment I've lost half my nail on my middle finger and can't bend 2 of my other fingers but they are just badly bruised not broken.
The surgeons are going to take out the other half of my nail this morning and then I guess we'll see what happens from there.
I'm not looking forward to this in the slightest as I don't do hospitals well at all. I'm not allowed to eat or drink till after the surgery so as you can imagine I'm desperate just for a sip of water at the moment I'm on extra strenght painkillers so feeling rather light headed and also on anti-biotics as it was a open wound.
So yeah just had to cry for some sympaty as it blooming well hurts and I need hugs and lots of them

Re: Off to see the plastic surgeon
Ouch! That sounds nasty Dawn. You poor thing!
Hopefully they'll be able to sort it and the tendons will be fine. I really, really hope so.
Take care.

Youch! Hope all is well, and try not to get too wound up about the hospital -- all they want to do is patch you up. And even hospitals are a bit less grim at Christmas... for you and too.
Re: Off to see the plastic surgeon
