it looks bad .. ive seen just as bad on my onw foot when it was dam near cut off ... I hope it heels up good ...and he keeps all feeling ... but I am sure that's to much to hope for .. my right foot has never lost the asleep stringing feel ... mine was bashed apart from fyling broken clevis ... like getting hit from a cannon right in the ankle 75 ft from the action ..sheesh I cant tell you what that was like ... fortunitly I seem to have good out come from a completely tied back together foot .. it took a couple yrs ... sometimes things just happen no matter how careful you go about it ...
