8 weeks ago I brushed my hand against a bougainvillea bush by accident. Somehow the thorn caused some damage to my ring finger on my left hand. My pinky was also cut but for some strange reason the damage was done on the ring finger even though the cut wasn't nearly as bad as the pinky finger. After several trips to family Dr, X-ray clinic and specialist I was ordered to do a fancy MRI on the finger.
Results of my MRI:
I need "emergency surgery" to open my finger, remove joint tissue which is infected with thorn bacteria, and will possibly need 1-2 more surgeries depending on amount of joint tissue infected and needing removal. Worse case scenario I will need amputation of the finger.
Yes this was a lot to process. Knowing there is going to be a decent amount of time for healing and limited use of my finger and hand, I will have to accept many things will need to be done by others. This isn't an easy thing for me. I always appreciate help but its not often I find myself in need of it.
With all this weighing heavy in my mind, Marc came home with flowers to "cheer me up"! He's a keeper! Not because he brought flowers but because he wanted to show he cares!
