He was doing some some diy in the house which involved taking aqua panelling out of our en-suite but it was really difficult so had to cut it with an angle grinder. Unfortunately it hit something and he lost control of it and it went into his right arm. It has cut right through his artery and has cut through muscle and nerves. He has also lost a LOT of blood.
At the moment he's in surgery where they will be taking a bit of his vein from his leg to join up the severed artery and re-attach his nerves and muscle. At the moment, I have been told worst case senario he will lose his arm, best case he won't have complete feeling in his right hand and will be off work for at least 4-6 months.
I just can't believe it. I'm sitting in the hospital right now waiting anxiously with Nicola for Alans folks to arrive from Falkirk and for more news. He should be in surgery for another couple of hours. Fingers crossed it will be good news from here on.
