I was shooting off a firecracker purchased from a fireworks stand. Short fuse and exploded a c1-2 inches from my hand as I was trying to get rid of it as there were kids from the block right there. I have a ring and pinkie finger still in tack and can feel those 2 and move some but has pins from fractured bones cared for by Dr. Melford, orthopedic surgeon when I was brought in by ambulance. I am still in the burn unit and will be going home with the assistance of Home Health, and in 2 weeks when they take pins out of little finger and ring finger, occupational therapy after that. Grafting and possible amputation of more of the middle finger in about 2 weeks. Other pins in thumb will be there for 6 weeks.
