plum,
it is wonderful that you have a group of kind friends who are there for you. you actually sound like you get out more than i do! i am sure that this helps you a great deal.
i wonder if there is such a thing as having a nerve severed. i would imagine that calling a neurologist may be a good start on finding information on that. it almost seems drastic, but in light of what you have been through, it makes sense. and i imagine that you cannot use that hand much anyway as it is.
have you tried anything for insomnia? have you gone to a sleep clinic? do you think that your insomnia is related to the pain, or did it occur before this also?
i agree that as much sleeplessness as you have had would certainly make anyone depressed. too much time to think, but too tired to think straight anyway.
what kind of doctor is your doctor? a specialist?
my thoughts are with you...wishing you a "good" day :)juniper
