Hi to anyone who ends up reading this. Last week I experienced the worst mistake ive ever made. Long story short I put my fingers too close to bottom of my push mower while mowing and completely cut off the tip of my middle finger and part of my ring finger. Obviously i know i made a stupid decision, its like i had a moment and just didnt think. I had headphones in with music jamming and a millisecond mistake cost me my normal hand. I wanted to make this thread to get any opinions on how it looks. I went into surgery and they attempted to re attatch the middle finger tip but were unable to. They did skin grafting on the ring finger and they told me overtime it will heal into a normal ring finger just a little short. I really just want any opinions on how it looks and if you think ill be able to live a happy normal life. The surgeon promised me things will get better through therapy. Attatching photos below.
