I'm up to nine workable digits again. My finger doesn't seem to be badly injured, but the joints have swollen up as it heals. I no longer need to splint it to my ring finger, but the swelling means I can't flex the finger for a while. With my middle finger stuck in an extended position it makes it a fair bit harder to grip anything, but it also makes certain gestures a lot easier.

I'm back to typing at a reasonable speed with my operational fingers, but annoyingly I can't grip a pen or pencil properly and mightn't be able to for a few more days. I hadn't realised how much I rely on being able to jot things down. I can type things up I guess, but it's just doesn't have the same flexibility and immediacy as pencil on paper. Still, there's a lot of typing I need to be doing at the moment, so it can be considered a benefit that my actions are somewhat limited to being in front of a keyboard.
