1/2 Final (hopefully) hand / finger update:
Can bend finger fully, still stiff and - as yet - I cannot bend the top at all, but been given two weeks of exercises with a roller to slowly extend mobility.
Have an open ended appointment- can contact the depart anytime in the next three months, after which I shall be 'officially not a patient on record' anymore
'Drop' is down from Zero to Minus 2 which is apparently optimal healing for #MalletFinger
2/2 The biggest downside is that swelling may never go down entirely (due to internal ligament scar tissue) so I shall forever have slightly mismatched first fingers.
Which, I know will be *very bad* for ~my brain~ but no one else will care - and functionality not looks are the key - but yeah.
It's taken 12 weeks at this point but it's almost fully healed.
oh and thankfully I am done with all kinds of sticky bandage / restrictive plastic splints !
Yay !
@Faintdreams yay mostly healed!
Clearly the solution is to get a tattoo on one finger so they look *more* different ;)
@TindrasGrove noooooo.
Tattoos and I are a no go.
BUT I might buy and start wearing a fancy ring on the 'normal' finger to draw more attention to it :)
