The final say on the croc bite

[m.punja]

So the saga continues. Just over two weeks ago my salt water croc got the better hand of me, my right to be exact. He didnt even latch on and barely even touched me, my cousin says he didn't even see the croc open his mouth but he did. At the time I thought might need a single stitch as one of his teeth opened my knuckle. Three days later I went to the doctors for the swelling. I was put on antibiotics and pain killers and sent for x-rays. X-rays showed a fracture and I was given a half cast and sent to the specialist. This specialist gave me a thicker half cast and sent me to get ultra sound. The ultra sound showed a torn tendon and from there I went through another four specialists and the end result, this contraption.


It is to cast my hand to heal the fracture and help out my tendon as it heals. Got to wear it for at least a month. Well done Happy.

That must be a bit awkward to sleep with, I hope it gets better soon without mishap.

Unreal! I remember the pics of your hand - had a pretty decent cut on the knuckle. Wouldn't have thought it would end up in that though!
