7. Gee, what happened to your ulnar nerve, lo those years ago?
I had a relative who had his arm sliced open in WW2 when his ship was so inconsiderate as to blow up on him--severed the thing. Miraculously, they were able to sew it back together (double miracle, as he spent no small amount of time in the water with sharks a-circling) and he actually did pretty well ever onward--his arm was fine, his thumb and first two fingers were fine, but his ring finger and pinky moved in perpetual tandem--it gave him somewhat of a rat-packish quality when he was gesturing, greeting or using that hand in any fashion.

Wishing you a speedy and full recovery. You've been in medical facilities too often of late, I think!!
