Hey Sir Bart, How is................

It's healing nicely, Ralfy.
It will be months before my mind gets used to the new place of my former fingertip. I can touch the top of the new tip while I look at it, and it still completely feels as if some utterly other point in space is touched. (where that piece of skin used to be). It 's a very odd and funny sensation, but also very clumsy. When I try to pick up a pencil between my thumb and stumpex
: finger, I look like a very drunk guy trying to pick up a cigarette. I takes ultimate concentration, and yet it's all a matter of cerebral interpretation, because the nerves themselves are fully functional. My brain needs a reset to the new situation. That, so I was told, will take a long time.
But I'm fine, really.
Thanks everybody, for worrying.
Bart.

Well done My friend, it takes more than most know to be ok with any kind of amputation large or small
Btw do you get "phantom" feelings from your missing finger tip? its very common apparently, the unconscious mind has a blue print of our physical self that takes a little re-programming
