Being admitted over night and operated on in the morning.

On the other hand, at least you have 5 full fingers.

Will they put it back on Duke?

I'm glad you spotted that.
Subtlety is not one of my strong points.

No it’s gone for good.

Not good Duke, hope your OK.

What gloves were you wearing?

I reckon it's an elaborate cover story...

The truth will be that one of his more lucrative clients are yakuza

I think an early morning bicycle ride is in order today. It'll have to be early though, as it's supposed to get into the low 90s today....Sat & Sun are forecast for close to 110F, which is mental...and apparently will set new records. It's gonna suck.

Op done. First of the day and already back on the ward. Should be going home later.

I wore the off road gloves provided. Never again. I don’t see what they are for in all honesty.

I did deglove part of the finger apparently.

Can you wear fingerless gloves now??

Well, one of them is all you really need, I suppose.

Sorry Duke what does that mean? Probably being thick

Glad the Op went well and you were well looked after, both of which are good to hear.

Degloving is Stripping the skin and muscle from the bone.

Fingers the body can cope with but legs and arms can be fatal.

Chatty nurses can be a laugh. Fit chatty nurses are like manna.

Working in heavy industry and aircraft maintenance, I've seen a few de-glovings, wedding rings and rotating equipment are the main culprits. Its why when i was married I never wore the ring at work.

I've seen some lovely degloving photos over the years.

I had a fairly busy day off today, Early start to go and help mum with some gardening, chopping up branches from the apple tree for the recycling.

Then off to the gym for leg day and to pick up some gifts for dad's birthday, they were sold out earlier in the week.

Then took the bike for its first MOT at Doncaster Motorcycles, passed with flying colours despite the pulsing brake discs.
EBC VEE rotors, not recommended if you like your brakes smooth but the stopping power with EBC HH pads is great.

And then, took dad to the doctors for a blood test.

And then, took mum shopping.

And then, after being told that one caliper was dragging and probably had a sticky piston I stripped and cleaned both calipers with an old toothbrush and brake cleaner, rather than my usual red rubber grease I have tried silicone spray this time to see how that goes.
I also bled the front brakes and found a small amount of air in one caliper, the lever feel is now much better but I will wait for a good test ride on Sunday.
