As the title states I’ve got bad hands and my hobbies include Rock Climbing, Piano, Golf, and Running. Suffice to say I can’t do shit.

This was a tricky operation as where the bend was is also where all the nerves and blood vessels are housed so there is risk of termination (loss of) the finger, loss of sensation, blood supply etc.

It was elective but the pros outweigh the risks for me with my hobbies and how they help me stay not sad.

Before. You can also see the scar from my first operation on the ring finger. As well as lots of flaky skin from climbing.

With a strong backpack to help get the piano up the wall.

seriously

one needs nimble fingers to play the piano and climbing atrophies them

I should say I only play piano for myself as a kind of therapy, I suck and I’m not playing any Sonata’s.

My biggest issue is choosing hobbies that are all based on hands, when you’ve got Dupytren’s Contracture.

The other thing is my hobbies are key to me being happy, so this state my mood is falling through the floor. I know I just need to think of the benefit afterwards but right now I’m wallowing in self pity.

We seem to be located in the same county, we're both software devs... I wouldn't rule it out completely.
