I've come to realize that the biggest change in my life directly related to my finger getting messed up is... I can't open pop cans one handed anymore with my right hand.

Personally I think you should've at least been given a cool super power to balance out the loss. Like +6 pinging elastic bands at people or adamantium toenails or something.
Happy 2008 my man. You are missed. But you knew that.
