Mr. Deckman - I feel SINCERE emaphty for you situation.
ABOVE ALL - try to asssure that ALL furture treatments for the are covered - refuse a "cash settlement" if it is offered........You need treatment FOR LIFE concerning the injury.
I in an unfortunately event - my lower right thumb was rearly severed in a nasty - work related accident.....bones protruded on moth sides.
A trip the nearest hospitol (they thrived on industrial accidents and all they could milk from them) quickly made me aware that I had fallen through a black-hole of the structure - my care would be with spiders and snakes you would milk the system and fill their wallets.
I RAN from the inductrial clinic, nightgown flying, right before the stuck the IV in......four our a phone calls....networkiong with friends......brough be to the surgeon - surgeon consult when their entire career is at a loss.
It's five years down the road of recovery. Practice sessions are 20 minutes long. The pain at night is DEVILISH - with a brace/ without.
I believe this doctor can fix it....he is not cheap ...... he fixes other surgeons hands.
Right hand is 60 there.......I want 100 percent .......I want to play keyboards like I used to.

I have reached my old potential - I need the slow drag, sluggish pain, to disapear for my right hand to connect again to a keyboard. (Thank You Workmans Compensation)
