Monday night Tyrel and Shane were working on a boat over at Brett's house. Ty was trying to cut a zip-tie with his pocket knife when the following happened. The knife cut the zip-tie but also went into Ty's left hand. The blade went into his hand about 1.5in and sliced through his main artery. Ty knew it was bad but not exactly how bad. He hid his hand from Shane who insisted he show him what had happened. When Shane saw the blood litterally squirting from Ty's hand they rushed to the house. Shane beat on the door until Brett answered, saw the mess and suggested they get to the hospital asap. Now if you know the kinda stuff Ty and Shane get into, you would understand why neither myself nor Ashley believed them when we received the phone calls. After some convincing, I realized what had happened and how bad it was.
Dr. Ben Martin was the ER doc who was absoluelty great. With the help of Ty and his nurse they got the artery tied off and bleeding stopped. You heard me right. Ty had to help them with the surgery, he was the official "suction guy". There was so much damage inside that it took both Dr. and nurse to tie off the mangled artery. It took around 10-15 stitches inside and 9 on the outside.
It will take time to find out if he has any nerve damage but numbness is most likely.
