LA GRANDE — A La Grande man who lost his right index finger in a table saw accident five days ago is now recovering at home and is eager to get back to practicing his craft.

Sam Delano, a 40-year-old woodworker, was working in his shop when the accident occurred at about 7 p.m. Sunday, April 21. He was alone at home but was able to call 911 despite his injuries with the earbuds he was wearing listening to music. An ambulance crew arrived and took him to Grande Ronde Hospital before he was flown by Life Flight to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, Boise, Idaho, where he had surgery on April 22 for his injured right index finger and right thumb.
