One of my neighbors, her husband lost his middle finger

and apparently they had to cut open the hand to get it all out. So that puts things in perspective.

Holy fuck, how?

Could I live without my middle finger? I use it an awful lot.

[conuly]

I have no idea, this was long ago apparently.

Wait, they had to take out the metacarpal? They couldn’t just leave it as a stump?

Weird. And also (speaking a someone who doesn’t even like having the drip needle put in the back of my hand) ow.

[conuly]

That's what she said! I've never met him, I think he died or they divorced before we moved here.

[movingfinger]

Shudder.

This sounds like the outcome of a curse.

[dewline]

And/or a cancer diagnosis.

The former could've caused the latter, if we believe certain works of fiction.

Yeesh, so they had to go into the palm to remove all of the metacarpal? Wow. Well, between my two hands I've had seven operations and have the nerve damage to show for it. Very sad for your neighbors, that would not be easy.

[conuly]

That is what she said. I must say, it's not what I expected to hear.
