Return to piping after injury.

[Fred Fomm]

Lloyd, you're not alone. Read John Wilson's story here.

There was an obvious, traumatic functio laesa [loss of function] and the felow who took care of you should've examined that. It took the next guy a handful of hours to re-assemble you because your body was trying to fix itself; there must've been connective [soft] tssue all around the tendon extremities. He likely had to undo Nature's scarring process and patch you through a man-oriented one.

[BTW I'm a Doc as well]

The main reason I gave up rugby was when a ten-tonne juggernaut [a pillar] treaded on my open right hand during a practice with those spiky boots... I felt like I would never be able to get a birrel or a D-throw right ever again! And my hands, along with my testicles, my liver and my heart are organs I hold very dearly!
