Man I hate stories like this. Life can change in a moment. Glad you are still with us. And, I hope that hand heals as quickly as possible and you get back full use!

 I'm cleared to go back to Indiana. Have a consult in Louisville, KY on Monday with supposedly some of the best hand doctors in the country. My ride should be here shortly.
Well? What did the docs say?

Hey guys, I just got off the phone with Jim.
He's in Indianapolis right now having some work done. He was extremely fortunate to gain use of his hand but, what he's actually able to do is very limited. At any rate, he's doin as well as can be expected. He wants to thank everyone for the prayers and kind words. Just hard for him to do any texting at the moment.

Thanks for the update. Much appreciated. Maybe he will get full use of his hand back.

Yes, thank you Paul for updating us.

From my experience, recovering from a hand injury is long and painful. Mine was relatively minor compared to his, so I can only imagine what he is going through. Send our best to him, please.
