Photo Hunters - Be Prepared to Cringe

February 3rd, 2007 by Rose DesRochers · 28 Comments

The topic of this weeks photo hunt is gross. Be prepared to cringe at the photo I’m sharing.

Gross Arm

This is a picture of my husband’s arm, three days after surgery last April. My husband underwent surgery in an attempt to relieve numbness in all four of his fingers and regain mobility and feeling to his hand. Part of the feeling came back, but he will never regain full feeling and half of his hand stays cold all the time. I think this looks gross.

If you liked this post, why not buy me a coffee?

I’m sorry your husband had to have that surgery - it looks very painful!

Yeah, that’s gross, Rose. But it doesn’t gross me out as much as the various pictures of animal poo posted around the net. Or the bugs.

Human stuff doesn’t bother me as much, for some reason.

I’m sorry about your hubby’s surgical result. I would think that having your hand feel partially cold all the time would be frustrating and disheartening after going through that surgery. I have carpal tunnel and my fingers are always numb, so I can empathize somewhat.

My photo is posted!

I’d say it looks more painful than gross but it does look gross. I think all surgery scars are. I hope he will regain it all back. Miracles do happen you know.

Definitely gross - and painful! I have a hard time with human injury - I can never watch any of those surgery shows, they freak me out.

Good choice of a photo for the theme, but I’m sorry to hear that the surgery didn’t help to bring back all of the feeling in his arm.

Poor guy. That looks like it hurts a lot.
mackeydoodle // Feb 3, 2007 at 2:59 am

Ouch!
You might want to save that one to use again should we ever have a theme for pain!
Mines up!

Eww! That not only looks gross it makes my arm hurt! I am sorry it did not do give him full feeling back as hoped for! How was he flexing his arm in just 3 days! Thats gross!

Thanks for stopping by and grossing out on my fly! Have a super Saturday!

Ouch! My husband has had many, many surgeries from having RA so he can identify with your husband. I hope he heals fast!
Coll // Feb 3, 2007 at 10:55 am

Oh my.. the poor man. This does look terribly gross. Ouch!!
Lynn Tucker // Feb 3, 2007 at 12:12 pm

Oh my!
Wow that must have been alot of work to recover from.
What was the original injury? Did he have an impact in a fall?

mine is up

Looks gross and painful. I had surgery on my ankle that left some nerve damage. It sometimes feels like I have water running down the side of my foot.
srp // Feb 3, 2007 at 12:23 pm

Oh, my that looks awful. Did he have some injury with swelling? I know that can be hard to deal with. Please say it has healed up by now…. . I do think this is just about the most gross picture I’ve seen today. You were right to prepare us to cringe.
Biker Betty // Feb 3, 2007 at 12:25 pm

That is definitely a gross pic. I’m sorry to hear that the surgery didn’t completely fix the problem. Hopefully with time, it will heal.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend,
Betty

That is so gross! I can just imagine the amount of pain that caused! I’ve got my first SPH up. Check it out!
yoshi // Feb 3, 2007 at 1:43 pm

Wow, that’s pretty gross. I haven’t done this weeks, because, I really don’t have anything gross to post. My mind is blank.

But seriously that’s pretty gross.
Holly // Feb 3, 2007 at 1:53 pm

That looks horribly painful. I’m sorry you both have to go through that and I hope the future looks brighter!
My very first Photo Hunt is HERE, stop by if you can!

Poor guy…….it does look gross!! My mom just had rotator cuff surgery and I almost photographed her incision, but I chose something different!!
YellowRose // Feb 3, 2007 at 6:53 pm

Ouch!! That must have been so painful!! And yes, it’s gross too!! Mines up!
Desert Diva // Feb 3, 2007 at 8:03 pm

Your poor hubby. Yes, that does look pretty gross!
Jannie Funster // Feb 3, 2007 at 9:43 pm

Poor guy. That kind of stuff doesn’t bother me to look at.
Stacy // Feb 4, 2007 at 10:45 am

Cringe is right! Poor guy. That had to be painful…
Crazy Working Mom // Feb 4, 2007 at 1:51 pm

Oh man! That looks gross…AND painful.
Christine // Feb 4, 2007 at 2:31 pm

Ow! I know that much have been so painful for your husband. I’m sorry he still doesn’t have the feeling in his hands or fingers. And yes, it is not a very pretty sight. I had CTS or a pinched nerve in my arm for a few days and I remember how numb and painful it was. Did he have to do some form of physical therapy and did that help a little?
Hope you are having a nice weekend.
Larry // Feb 4, 2007 at 7:36 pm

Yikes, that looks painful! I almost posted the same type of photo but thought it would gross out too many people so opted for a gross flower instead. Take care. Thanks for stopping by.
Steve Reichard // Feb 9, 2007 at 1:27 am

sorry to hear Shawn will never have full mobility of his hand again I am glad that some of the feeling returned though ((HUGS))
Jannie Funster // Feb 9, 2007 at 7:44 am

I am going to enjoy reading your blog, Rose. I write songs and am sort of a wanna be poet and get to do some of that in my blog. (My post of Feb. 7th on Les Ballets Jazz Montreal was kind of poetic I thought.) I’d like to take part in Funny Monday but at present can barely make it through the whole blogroll to comment on Photo Huntesrs so best not take on a new “project.” “See” you soon. Jannie Oh, again, the sight of your husband’s arm would be gross to my husband but for some reason things like that don’t bother me at all. Should’ve been a nurse or doctor?
