That's rough man hope it gets better anyway, Atleast you didn't do what my step father did. Which is Drop a solid metal door onto his little finger, he used to work for a powder coating company that the reason he had a giant metal door, Not every day people carry metal doors around with them :D

Post by: rowdy on Fri, 27 September 2013, 06:19:12: Ouch! Hope you recover soon.

At times like this a one-handed keyboard would come in useful.

Post by: thadood on Fri, 27 September 2013, 08:48:32: I absolutely feel your pain. Sorry, man!

The tendon that pulls your fingers back up and flat got severed on my left middle finger in a car wreck. I had surgery and was in a cast for a month for it. One month of ****ty middle finger not working followed by entire hand in cast for another month = alhra;hadf;lkjaefiajef;aief

Post by: vivalarevolución on Fri, 27 September 2013, 11:07:42: Time to refine your one-handed typing skills. The only advantage of those archaic flat, 104-key boards is the convenience for one handed typing. I always think of Boris from the James Bond movie, Goldeneye.

And he is using a Model M.
