Been pondering and cogitating on it for ya Chilly.
Seems like once the swelling goes down we can whip you up a pointer from an inch or so of 3/4 copper tube and a table knife blade. If I can locate a small laser pointer to slip in there you might be known as the Point Man on jobs.
Probably be real handy for scratching too once you get the hang of it.
(best not use that hand for wiping anymore though, heh heh)
Owww...... that sounds like a pain in the fanny.
Maybe I need different ends, like a toolkit. I could carry a few in my pocket.
The pointer, little back scratcher, a tip that works on touch screens, one of those little vibrating tips, etc.
I didnt lose the whole 1-1/8" - I think I lost 5/8" or so. On the top from the base of nail to the end.
I hope I don't mess it up. Most normal people would accidently use it and hurt. I don't have those sensory nerves. I caught myself using that finger while using a caulk gun earlier.
I'll try to be good.....
Chilly
