I’ve got a eight inch scar running from where the fingers join the hand to above the wrist. I was walking my Great Dane when we encountered an amorous pit bull. I was able to prevent a fight but at a cost. Was unable to drive for four months. Amazing thing is I have fully recovered. I can play golf and touch type.
Mine was from rescuing a chihuahua and while holding it up, it was so terrified that it turned and chomped into my finger. And at the ER they set me up for emergency surgery the next am.
They did a nerve block in my armpit before surgery. Was fun smacking myself in the face the next day. They kept telling me I would have to stay in the hospital more than one night for pain control. I left with percocet anyway and did fine. Eight weeks of occupational therapy.
