Re: Good luck Si
Well I s'pose at least now you can accurately assess which is more inconvenient - a bent pinky or a straight one.
Wonder why they didn't think of attempted repair before and initially went straight for the 'off'? |

I haven't been able to use that finger properly for many years so whether I get all the movement I require to stop the finger getting in the way of my riding is yet to be seen. Physio starts Monday. At the moment I am prepared to leave it as a result of a motorcycle accident in the time before dinosaurs, but it looks increasingly more likely that the finger injury and the bending of the finger is more a coincidence than a direct result of the accident. I suffer from Raynaud's. Look it up for those that don't know what that is. It would now seem the surgeon thinks I could be suffering from CREST Syndrome. The two are both linked. He examined all my other fingers and there is evidence that three other fingers are showing signs of doing the same thing (curling over). This is really not cool so I will carry on believing it was an accident and is now sorted. I should get more information on Monday. |

Re: Good luck Si
Do you remember the scene from Terminator where he cuts the skin off his wrist and you see all the mechanics working inside. It was like that with my finger. I tried as much as possible to move my finger so I could watch the internal parts move. I couldn't do it because of the injections to block movement but need not have worried. The surgeon rigged me up to an electrical circuit to see if my nerves were still working. So I got to see it in action anyway.
It wasn't like you see in the movies but cool none the less. |

Re: Good luck Si
That's good news then, you might not be a freak after all! Let's hope you can get the finger out for all of us to see next time we meet!

No unfortunately not I'm not really sure the surgeon would have been happy with that, but I guess I should have thought about it and asked anyway. I have high hopes as to the success of the operation. I took all the dressings off as I was getting very frustrated losing the use of my whole hand just for a little operation on my little finger. I now have just the little finger bandaged up and I can already see that I can straighten it to almost vertical again. Until the stitches have dissolved and the cut has healed, I don't really want to test it. But I have a feeling it will be as good as it was before. |
