This one was about 6 months afterwards.

Basically chopped straight through my Right index finger and had to take it to hospital in a bag of frozen peas, they replanted the finger in a 12 hour operation.
Had a nerve transplanted from one side of the finger to another and 3" of vein taken out my wrist to feed into the finger to give it a blood supply.

In total there were around 120 stitches holding the outside together with a further 200+ holding the nerves and veins inside together (obvoiusly disovable ones)

There was also about 4-5" of metal coiled around holding the bone together until it knitted back, i had a follow up opertaion in 1999 to remove most of the wire although he couldnt get it all out as some bone had grown over it.

Mint! u were lucky

I used to work as a secretary at an engineering place and this bloke lost one of his fingers (didnt get it sewed back on) he got ?15,000 then a few year later he lost his thumb!!!!!!!! he then got ?25,000 for that!!

Seriously i think he did the second one on perpose. He manages perfectly well plays pool great too as he has a stump to rest the que on lol :lol: :lol:

BIG HAIR :o

[Ben (lurk75)]

Yeah my hair got out of hand as i was in hosptial for nigh on a month.

I lost 2stone in the first two weeks due to being in a room held at 28 degree's.

I got ?12k compensation for it wich i used to help buy my flat, i dont hardly notice it now apart from my finger nail is a pain to cut as its so sensitive. But i sometimes forget its there.

If it does eve annoy me the Surgeon has promised to remove it as i wanted it left on but he talked me into having it re planted.

[wisewood]

3.5 inch scar left wrist.
0.5 inch scar below left eye.

Hideously unique spikey hair - Even Kev recognised it when i was in the passenger seat of the car in front of him in Rhyl once - before we had ever met in person before.

Suddenly the phone rings n he says "alright mate, look behind ya!"
I look round, there is kev's grinning face in the car behind us. :lol:

We pulled over n i asked how he knew it was me, he said because of the hair, its sooo obviously you.
