While I didn’t actually lose a finger, at times I almost wish I did. Trying to keep my left index finger out of the way while I do everything (since I’m left handed) is much more of a challenge than I had thought it would be. The simple stuff is the worst: shaving, showering, writing, and typing require much more concentration than they normally do. I need to keep this up for another week yet, until I get the stitches out. Ugh!
