Talked to my buddy yesterday, he'd just been to the doctor for his hand.
He cut it pretty bad a couple weeks ago ripping a board on a table saw.
Saw grabbed the board and pulled his hand across the it, 30 stiches.
Doc (plastic surgeon) didn't like the way it was healing so cut it open again.
She reattached the nerve on the thumb. He lost an artery on this thumb, but you have two so still has blood flow.
She told him his cut was classified as a partial amputation. Just a little deeper and he'd lost his thumb and index finger.
He called it dumb luck. Dumb for the accident and lucky to have all his fingers and thumb.
