Camille, it was a very deep, extensive injury to the nerves and muscles from the sounds of it. The 4" handle went all the way in her arm, when she pulled out from the handle, there was tissue left on the handle. The doctor was saying that infection was likely due to the severity and that if it's bad enough, there aren't strong antibiotics to fight it, meaning she might lose that arm if they have to amputate for the infection. Remember, she lives on a farm in the middle of nowhere, she has cows and other animals which is why the doc thought that there might be some nasty bacteria around. Nasty, nasty injury...... After working on an ambulance for so many years, I have a pretty good image of what it looks like. [:o]
