Accident At Work - Lesson to Everyone
Jabba:
I find most accidents usually happen to me when I'm impatient and in a rush. I got a couple of nice scars to remind me of this.
Now, when I feel that way, I stop working period
Here's to a speedy recovery.

Hey you guys are awesome. It's nice to wake up and read your messages of support. I'm feeling more confident than ever.
Thanks a million!

I think, in regards to the middle finger question, you still default to the standard middle finger, but use the "other fingers completely behind the palm and held down by the thumb" technique practiced earlier in life rather than the "other fingers bent at the knuckle thumb extended" version that most of us tend to practice later in life.
Good luck, speedy recovery.
Chaos:
Toolaa, I am one of the guys that can say " I feel your pain" I got my right hand caught in a printing press running @ 8000 rpm. The press kept the top half of my index, middle and ring fingers. The therapy is not that bad. I did it for about 8 weeks. Just wait til the finger you lost starts itching. It's the phantom itch that gets ya!
Take care.

Bones:
I have limited movement of the little finger on my right hand after a motorcycle accident. I can't for example make a fist or close my hand properly, the little finger just don't move. It makes it very difficult to grip anything because much of the strength comes from this part of the hand.
Having said this there is not much that I can't do, I don't do things in the traditional manner but I have learned to manipulate the rest of my hand to make up for any shortcomings. It has taken over 2 years but finally the movements are starting to become automated.
It can be frustrating but it just takes time for the brain to adapt.
