That finger has got to hurt!!! But we are glad that even though there was some damage, everyone seems to have come out of it pretty OK…except for the finger. Take good care, DragonClan ---

**dragongirl** I actually came to the boards this a.m. just to see if you had any info about your hubby yet. Happily, you found him, and all is relatively well. Glad you are ok, Mike, really. And I hope your finger is ok also. 🙂 ---

Thanks everyone ! He’s in a lot of pain. The doctor gave him some pain medicine, but he can’t take it because it makes him very nauseous, so he’s on advil, but it doesn’t seem to help much. It’s the pointer finger on his right hand, which is tough, since he’s righthanded. The doctor says that he lost all feeling in that part of his finger, and they’re not sure if they can keep it on, but they hope for the best. Thanks, again. ---

Dragongirl, there are lots of different pain meds. Call the hospital or doctor and get some different ones. Pain management is a priority and they shjould not neglect it. I’m glad the injury is not life threatnbing, I’ll be praying for you all. ---

Hope the reattachment works, and that he can get something better for the pain. (It still seems amazing to me that they can reattach stuff.) ---

Many people get nauseated with codeine, but there are many alternatives. Be pushy if you have to. People who abuse these drugs have the skills needed to manipulate medical providers into prescribing them. The rest of us - who need to use pain medication for what it is intended - are too polite to insist.
