Ever hear of Dupuytren contracture? Yeah, I hadn’t either, until a few weeks ago. Simply stated, this is an ailment that affects those of Northern European extraction (such as your 100% English buddy Tim) and causes one or two fingers to bend. My little finger basically cannot be straightened, and it was going to get worse with time, so on Tuesday I had a scheduled procedure that injects me with a chemical that’ll lay waste to the tissue and relax it. Yep, I’m destroying a piece of my own body. I’m actually typing this (awkwardly) after the procedure before the pain sets in, but I just wanted to say, in advance, if I’m not as prolific on Wednesday, it’s because 10% of my digits are out of commission!
