Without sounding too dumb, I'm assuming the mishap from the holiday with your hand is still not right....
Hoping it heals quickly as I'm sure you are PLUS your shed will be thinking you've abandoned her....

I got home after 2 months wandering around Britain, and particularly the Northern Isles, to find that the drought I had left behind had continued and the place was drier than I had ever seen seen it. I wish I could have brought some of the Western Scottish rain back with me. Anyone who might have used my shed while I was away, obviously cleaned up behind them 😏 and she was ready to get back into woodwork and start the next project. However, the fingers I dislocated during my fall at Mull Head in the Orkneys had other plans for me and my local doctors thought that not going to hospital on the island and ignoring the injury but with occasional use of single malt whisky as a pain killer, was probably not a valid forward treatment regime now that I was home. Hopefully MINOR surgery in the next few weeks will fix the soft tissue and ligament damage and I will be ambidextrous again in a further few weeks? Luckily, the family had been able to care for and save the (gin and tonic) lemon tree by the shed verandah 😋.
its good to be back.

I had a welding teacher who reckoned the best cure for a welding flash was to drink a full bottle of scotch because by the time you recovered from that the flash was gone.

I hope the Single Malt wasn’t the cause of the fall otherwise the treatment regime of one after the fall would be similar to the hair of the dog.
Hope all goes well and the shed soon echos to the sound of mallet on chisel.

Well, I reckoned I'd done enough to avoid surgery! I wore the cast even though it was removable, I got others to open my twist top wine, I didn't give the 'bird' to idiot drivers around me .... with my right hand anyway, I haven't done ANY chin-ups NOR push-ups, I haven't laid bricks, I haven't thumped the table to make a point at home (and it never has been a good idea anyway?), I've stopped shaking hands with Jehovah's Witnesses at the front door and haven't lit any fires by twirling sticks into a log............ but NO! In spite of my efforts I will need surgery ......... so I'm going back to opening my own wine!

It seems that the tendons to ‘tall man’ and ‘pointer’ were stretched when I dislocated them and now slide off their knuckles when I bend the fingers towards the palm. If they shrink to normal length and stay in the groove on the knuckle then there’s no need for an operation. If they don’t, then I don’t yet know if they shorten them or deepen the groove on the knuckle?

Sounds like the reverse of trigger finger.
Hope it gets sorted well and soon
