Hands

Two days ago I was drying my Fredo frog work mug when a piece of the handle came flying off. To begin with I thought that was the only thing wrong. Then I noticed the blood. I had managed to cut the top part of my middle left finger, on the inside, right over the fist knuckle crease. It didn't hurt too much but boy did it bleed. I won't describe further except to say that it eventually took three band-aids ,on top of each other, to get it under control. Anyway the whole point of this story is that I hadn't realised just how often I use this finger considering I am right-handed. I use it to hold things, keep things balanced e.g. dishes when dish washing, and just general hand stuff. It just goes to show just how difficult it would be to readjust doing things if you lost the use of part of finger, no matter what handedness you are.
