It would be brilliant if you could go :)

I really do think if this weekend ends up being desperately difficult it might be better just taking one day off until its a bit more bearable (sorry to nag, I'm a woman ;) )

If you think things can't get worse it's probably only because you lack sufficient imagination.

It's ok Cornish. You did it becuase you had to do it for you. You know now. You don't have to do it again.

You just felt you needed to do it again that's all. No worries. You hadn't confirmed it to yourself last weekend and you needed to do it again to see and now you have.

You're half way through again!!  :)

Think of something positive cornish, try to take your mind off it if you can.

No they don't Cornish. If they go you will have to deal with a void which is more more difficult. WITH the fingers you have options, WITHOUT the fingers you don't.

its a hard thing to explain as i dont feel complete with the fingers there, they are just an annoyance and the feeling i have from them is just awful.

its very hard to describe but at its worst its like pins and needles but WAY worse but it also feels like heavy rain is hitting it, if that makes sense

If you feel so very strongly about it cornish and you are 100% sure your attitude towards your fingers wont change then I was going to suggest you ask your doctor about proper surgical amputation but I remembered your fear of hospitals etc so I'm not sure that would be a solution :(

This feeling of pins and needles is a misfiring of nerve endings due to nerve damage but can also indicate that where there can be feeling there can be regaining of function. Have you been told indefinitely that this is not possible?

they think its a nerve trapped in my spine but want me to go to hospital to get a scan or something

they wont amputate a "healthy"  limb or digit as its still functional

I saw a documentary a year or two ago about people who hated parts of their body so much that it affected their mental health and surgeons eventually agreed to amputate perfectly functional parts of their bodies, I tjink one case (that really shocked me) was a bloke who had his legs removed :(
