Hi all, last night my hubbys Dad came round to help my hubby carry our new cast iron bath upstairs, well unfortunately hubby wasn't home from work yet (at 8;00pm) and wouldn't be back for an hour, I told his Dad but he said he didn't mind hanging around.... anyway, I carried on clearing out the room where the bath was going to go (a bedroom at the moment as it is being re-enamelled) so I was moving our computer desk out... I was upstairs and I heard this dragging noise, and realised my hubby's Dad was trying to move the bath by himself, when all of a sudden he started screaming!! I ran downstairs and he was shouting he'd "bust" his finger, so I offered to get a bandage, anyway, when he turned around, there was blood everywhere and his finger was hanging off.... just barely attached!! (The bath had fallen and crushed his finger against the wall between the actual roll of the bath) I had to call an ambulance and went with him to hospital (how I didn't faint I'll never know, I'm soooo pathetically squeamish!)
About 20 mins after we got there hubby turned up (I'd called him while waiting for the ambulance) and they rushed his Dad off for x-ray.....to cut a long story short, he had to stay overnight and is going in for surgery thismorning.... they are "hoping" to save the finger, but if not, it will have to be amputated
We eventually got home at about 1:00am thismorning, and walked into a hallway full of blood.... I've never seen so much!! Thankfully hubby cleaned it up, as I don't think I could've managed it....
We should hear soon how the surgery went, I just hope they did save the finger as he is a manual worker and it would be so difficult without it....
