my doctor gave me the finger

Nowadays when I try out the more intensive guitar speed-building exercises my little finger starts to hurt. It's definite baggage left over from my broken finger in '05. Which then reminded me that I still had the x-ray films with me, so I pulled them out and took a bunch of pictures:

first x-ray after going NUH

inserted 5 k-wires to hold bone fragments in place

I still think it's a miracle that I managed to get my range-of-motion back. Thank goodness. But I definitely can't stretch as far across the fretboard as I used to.
