[SEL] OT Accident

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Ron,
    Tell her to keep her spirits up and be patient.  It will be quite a 
while before the healing really takes hold and also let here know that 
things will look much better in 6 months than they do today.  I know 
when I amputated my left ring finger It looked terrible for a long 
time.  Then the healing took over and now its just part of me.  Here is 
an interesting news report that might have hope for those of us who have 
had finger injuries:
