I was off work for two months. I can’t lift anything so my firm’s got me doing paperwork, i used to train four times a week and loved martial arts and boxing. I can’t do any of it now.

There were no anesthetics because they could take any time from two hours to three days to arrive at the hospital. So I was awake when they cut my little finger off. It was pure agony, they weren’t able to reattach it because six hours was too long to wait and they never found my wedding ring finger. I took the little finger home with me — I still have it in the fridge.

I saw that my wedding ring finger was gone. In all the shock, somehow I hadn’t noticed. My other finger was still in the jungle.
