The Corp. I work for told me they will pay me from the start of my shift all the way ttill I checked out of the recovery room.
Dont know if it has to do with it, but I was just awarded about a month ago "West Coast MVP" and was given a trophy and cash
. Dinner for the fam and a Albertsons gift card for my hard work in 2009. There was a breif statement on why I was awarded so and was published in our Corp. weekly emails.So I dont know if my work ethics has to do with the desicion to pay me or if its just my boss that felt responsible for an accident investigated and was found that I did everything correct and some but still was injured.
Im just happy that they are taking care of me. Was also told to do Drr. appts and physical therapy (if need be) on the clock. That tells me they appreciate my work
.Hope that was the last surgery you need on that knee bro

... its not as bad as it looks (right now). Cant see anything but a wrapped cast. They take it off Monday. It just looks like a 4-5" cut and about .5" wide... went as deep as my bone. So my tendons were sliced and had to get them reconstructed. Doc told me they had to open my cut bigger to see if there was any more damage. So im guessing im going to have a letter "T" scar on the back of my hand

Being an artist makes things even worse (Colors class will be hell next semester). The company left the country months afterwards.
Good luck with your accident!

Fortunately the scars from a trained surgeon using a scalpel versus the scars from trauma are apples and oranges. You'll hardly notice it if you take care of it properly while it heals.
I'd be more worried about the physical therapy once they reconstruct your tendon bro.

DeathPony- Keep your head up and stay focused. Youll be alright
A couple guys asked me to post pics, so here they are... Before and After
15 Stitches and 3 repaired Tendons later with a swollen Arse hand
Therapy is 3X's a week and I injured the best part of my hand. Dr. term, Zone 6... where the tendons meet so I have a splint for all my fingers
Pic is when it is drying up already so u cant see the actual tendons in my hand
