Well, the good news is that the finger seems to be healing at a rapid rate of knots. Already playing again and using all four fingers. The top part of the finger has no feeling in at all at the moment, which really makes life interesting when I try some of the big stretches that I like to include in my playing.
It's not the only time I have done damage to my left hand. As a teenager I was involved in a karting accident which left teo fingers requiring pins. My ring finger was almost at a right angle below the second knuckle.... the irony being that the day before this latest drama my physio was telling me that she was amazed that I ever got the full range of movement back in those fingers.
Still, I was lucky this time.
