I know how you feel!
I cut my ulnar artery and damaged 2 tendons in 2005.
Had a cast on for 6 weeks, only time it came off was for physio.
I watched tv and went on the net when I was off, and my wife dealt with my newborn.
hope you still have finger movement, if not it will come back through time. I felt that my fingers would stay in one place forever, but after perserverance at physio it all came back
best of luck with the recovery

the original one?

if you look very carefully, you'll spot that he's actually using some granada parts there

i did ask him about it when we met and he said there were a shed load of grany bits and bobs there as well so they wanted it to look like they'd been doing some work
