splinted finger

today I started my day rather poorly.

a slightly miscalculated movement, a sharp pain, and a finger twisted out of shape. a makeshift splint, a visit to the emergency room, a more professional splint, and a diagnosis of 'right little finger extensor tendon rupture', which means I'll most probably need an operation very soon, before the ruptured tendon contracts.

 

Incidentally, try taking a picture of your right small finger. It's surprisingly difficult, though it probably depends on the camera model to some extent.

 

Meanwhile I'm adapting to typing without that finger. sorry for the lack of capitalization of left-hand letters...
