Rated R for Blood and Gore

I'm SO SERIOUS...




If you are AT ALL squeamish... DO NOT, I repeat... DO NOT scroll down!




I'm NOT KIDDING.

You are about to see pictures of the INSIDE of my hand.  Like, hand cut open.. skin peeled back.. nerves exposed.. BLOOOOOOOOODY hand.




You can still turn back now!

Okay...

I warned you!

This picture was taken before any repairs had been done.  You can see in the middle of the nerves, there are dark spots.  That is where I cut the nerve.  Obviously, it's unbelievable, and totally lucky, that I only cut them that much!!
Also, notice that they stitched my flaps of skin to my palm and finger to keep them out of the way during surgery!  Yes, I still have little scars from those stitches!
***The blue thing is a tiny plate that they put under my nerves to isolate the two they were working with during the surgery.  They removed it before sewing me up!

This is a picture of the surgeon actually repairing the nerve.  I truly have no idea what they did to patch it up, but I just know it was patched!  

This is right before they took out the blue plate and stitched me up!  You can still see the part of the nerve that was damaged, but it doesn't look the same as before.  You can see a difference in its appearance because it is patched in this picture.

And that's all folks!  I'll write about my appointment today in another post.  I didn't want people who are squeamish to have to see these pictures!!
