We’re shooting for 50 - 60% mobility restored in the proximal joint. Ha have pretty solid movement in all the other joints on the finger. Feeling wise where the saw entered is where the median nerve (?) runs. The surgeon was flabbergasted I didn’t cut that. He doesn’t understand how it didn’t get cut given the location and damage. It’s tingly where the saw entered and slightly numbe around. Other then that I have good feeling in my top and else where.

The suregeon, specializes in hand trauma, said it’s one of the more catastrophic finger injuries he’s seen mostly due to the fragmentation of the bone which is shown in the x-ray a bit, but the CT scan showed a much more dire picture.

All things considered it’s a positive prognosis, it won’t be the same, but it will be functional.

That's good to hear. Sucks that it happened, but all things considered, it's positive.
