within a week of turning 40 (I knew it wasn't going to be a good birthday) I dropped a wine glass I was washing and with a knee-jerk reaction tried to "catch" it. Well, needless to say it hit another glass in the sink popped and I grabbed it at the same time. I immediately did not feel my right index finger. I learned through a long and painful road that I severed the nerve and cut the tendon, ligament and muscle in the process. The bone is what stopped the glass from going straight through. It is coming up on a year and I still have pins and needles in my finger and cannot grip anything too well. Bad for me as I used to study Shaolin Kempo karate and Jiu Jitsu. without being able to grip I really cannot grapple. The good news is that I can write. |
