well, back at home now, looking at the tank and deciding against the body filler zim. might just put it all back together(slowly with just my left, stupid , hand) and take it to the meet naked so to speak. dont think i'll have the finger strength to spray for a while.

cheers fv, just been to see the feds and reported the dog, saw the owner last night abd he was happy for me to report it and knows it's more than likely the dog will have to be destroyed. just looking into making a claim for it now as i dont know when i will be able to get back to work. not a happy bunny at the moment. and it's really hard typ[ing with your left hand.

Jeff don't worry about completing the KT there is no rush, plus once finished you probably move onto next project so sometimes better to take you time.
Hope all goes well with dog and the claim. Just a word though be very careful what you say online regarding the incident. The forum is public and only takes a solicitor 5 minutes to dig up information and you don't want any thing used against you.

thanks everyone, was back at the hospital yesterday to have the dressing changed and got my first post op look at my hand. what a mess. 10 stiches in two guts that too all the flesh of the top of my middle finger and the hole in the back of my hand where the tooth got me is now a two and a half inch harry potter. lol down the back of my hand with another twelve stiches in. no wonder it bloody hurts.lol on an aside though, it's amazing how quick you get used to using the wrong hand. still cant write though, looks like a epileptic spider is having a fit.
