If nudity offends, you best avert your eyes…
SPLINTED FINGER IS NAKED!
This week I attended my six week orthopaedic appointment following finger fusion. The rather lovely doctor showed me the x-ray- there are three pins of varying length along the finger and a metal ring around the joint – and advised the bone had fused well. Despite my concern the finger is still swollen and red, the doctor told me it’s looking good, but recommended I retain the splint for a further six weeks.
In hindsight, I think my reaction matched Tony Hancock’s in his famous sketch in which he expresses surprise at how much blood he’s expected to donate.
The rather lovely doctor and I entered into negotiations, which included my admission I had spent the day before without the splint, apart from when I went out, and the promise not to take up ten-pin bowling. We reached a satisfactory compromise of allowing Splinted Finger to roam naked around the home, but cover up when out and about.
Splinted Finger is also allowed to write.
Nude.
And with joyous abandon.
Take care.

Welcome back, Laura’s naked finger…so Laura is digit-al once more.
And off topic – but Laura, that is a gorgeous photo of you to my right here.
Splinted Finger (which I think is a great name for a rock band) and I thank you 🙂 xx
Oooh I don’t know if I will be able to cope Laura … have only met you in full regalia. What if your personality changes with the uncovering? haha
Good to see progress. Happy naked writing. x
LoL, Shaz! I’m typing this with naked fingers!
😀 xx
It’s still making me wince. Although it’s nice to see it in the flesh for a change.
Hi Sue. You’ll be seeing a lot more of it at the Festival of Romance 🙂 xx
Yes, I’m squeamish too – but you’ve been a very brave girl, Laura. Treat yourself!
Thanks, Phillipa. Splinted Finger slept naked last night for the first time since September. xx
OMG! Nudity. In PUBLIC!! (covers eyes). That finger is taking on a life of its own. It’ll soon be demanding its own blog, and want to go clubbing. You have been warned.
Carol – it’s already got a little black dress…
