  • Absolutely, happy that people are curious as it can be quite rare if not from Northern Europe.

    Here is a link to the NHS site giving more information about Dupytren’s Contracture.

    Basically, extra tissue forms around your palmer fascia and causes it to thicken overtime and limits the range of motion for a given joint.

    This is my second Fasciectomy, the first was around 15 years ago to release my ring finger on my left hand as it was flexed at around 65 degrees. This was a success and still have full movement over a decade later.

    This latest one fascinated the surgeons as it’s incredibly rare to hit the pinky on the most distal joint. This joint was bent inwards at 95-100 degrees and was a real hindrance to falling when rock climbing as it would catch on a hold and could do severe damage.

    Finally, on my right hand I have been able to feel a lump forming for about 8 years, but it’s a very slow process and so maybe another 10-15 years before noticeable loss of range of motion.

    It originated in Viking country and this is most prevalent in Northern Europeans. And is passed down hereditary from my bio father.

  • Erm… I certainly hope it’s not necrosis as the nurse said all is healing well. I just think it’s intense bruising.

    Thanks dude. Oof I think would rather this on all my digits than jaw surgery. That must have sucked hard.

    What was the surgery for if you don’t mind me asking?

  • I should say I only play piano for myself as a kind of therapy, I suck and I’m not playing any Sonata’s.

    My biggest issue is choosing hobbies that are all based on hands, when you’ve got Dupytren’s Contracture.

    The other thing is my hobbies are key to me being happy, so this state my mood is falling through the floor. I know I just need to think of the benefit afterwards but right now I’m wallowing in self pity.

  • My aim is to get my friends and family to stop paying for streaming services and if I have to pay for Plex to achieve this then that’s a win.

    Jellyfin is nowhere near as feature complete as Plex and not by a long shot. My users don’t like the UI of Jellyfin and setting up for remote access is no trivial feat. With this in mind and my goals Plex is better suited.

    So far have 8 users all saving £10-40 a month not going to streaming services.

  • Yes you’re the AH. Even taking the kids out of the equation and you’re framing this as what you can get out of this meeting. That’s not a friend. Why not just say no.

    She said that we should get coffee and catch up properly, and I was sort of down, although I'm not really that enthusiastic about catching up with someone I've frankly not thought about in a few years.

    Yeah sod what the other party thinks s as long as you’re getting something out of it. I see this as wasting her time on someone who isn’t appreciative of it.

    Also, why mention baby daddies?
