So my dumb inebriated self on new years eve accidentally mishandled a kitchen knife while separating a couple frozen beef patties. Luckily it IS the off-season and we have a local hand specialist / plastic surgeon. The flexor tendon in my left index finger was severed so I was unable to bend it

Doc expected it to make a full recovery within a couple months. Will need physio. Youtube "flexor tendon repair" if you can stomach that sorta thing.. :cool:

Also hydromorphone is pretty great

Dang, sorry to hear that. Hope you heal up soon! I managed to just nick the tendon going to my thumb years back, and it still gives me grief.

Thanks all. Hopefully it's back to normal before the start of next riding season, that i'm not worried about. Maybe not having a guitar fingering hand that works has been a pretty scary thought. It's also totally numb on the inside of the finger from above the cut, cause I also severed the radial nerve...good grief. That is supposed to regenerate to some degree

Your new name is now Doctor Octopus

Ironically you look like the character from the spiderman movie.

Heal up well and take care.

You kinda look like one of the 2 brothers on Slap Shot with Paul Newman.
