I hope she's listening.

Hello, Jess.

If she didn't act on it because everyone was a bit shocked and overwhelmed, she acted on it and she went and got those tongs and that finally separated the crab from my finger.

Yeah.

It's a whirlwind.

I still, like I'm talking about it, just like the feeling of it.

But, you know, I would do what I'm doing now, rehab and all the appointments, I would do that any day of the week to have a finger.

I honestly am so, so lucky with the outcome because, you know,

Once I continued my weather stint, I had people come up to me on the road and actually sharing their stories and showing me their hands that were some of them were fingerless and said, hey, I didn't even have half the size of a crab of yours that took three of my fingers off or one of my fingers off.

So I'm sure there's a lot of people out there listening right now that can relate or know how, you know, how much it hurts being bitten by a crab.

So I'm extremely, extremely lucky.

I've got little scars.

So I have a thing called, it's called a neuroma because my finger was really severely crushed by the crab.

It's crushed all the nerves in my finger.

So I've lost feeling and sensation.

So I'm doing rehab every week.

to get movement back into it and try and get feeling and memory.

My nerves are struggling to receive signs and signals from my brain.

So I am seeing a hand surgeon next week to chat further on how we manage this, whether it's naturally and, you know, it will take six to 12 months or we just go in, bite the dust and get an operation to reconstruct the nerves because the nerves are really badly damaged from the crush.

Yeah, yeah.
