Ouch! Just because you've done something for a long time, doesn't mean you're immune to the dangers. Every once in a while, some worn out grainy shingle on a steep roof slope reminds me of that.

I bet it would be "handy" to have thumbs on your feet like a monkey.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

A very tough week!! Wow! I have one finger partial missing and another that was attached. Mine came from accident when I was two years old. I'm very thankful the small-town country Doc reattached my one finger. I sometime think about it because the very rural area and Doc didn't have much to work with but mine turned out great.
I wish you the very best and a rapid recovery.
I know of a good half dozen people missing figures.

if you took it clear off you might be better without it
my dad took his middle finger 2/3 of the way off with the table saw at the joint. he said take it the rest of the way off , the Doc said I am a great hand surgeon I can save it
22 years later he would say I should have just insisted it come off 22 years of banging it on everything , a fixed joint finger just gets in the way and hurts
it only takes a second of distraction for accidents to happen.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
