Doctors said Matt Dawson's injury would take four to six months to recover, meaning he would have to miss this summer's games. Or, he could have his finger amputated and make it to the competition. Dawson chose the latter.
I once went swimming right after I ate. This dude’s got nothing on me.
My dad had part of a finger mangled pretty bad. Couple operations and a skin graft went into saving it. Function never came back. He can only bend it part way. Amputation would have been a shorter recovery with the same level of function.
