The music is easy enough ... but the sound effect as Gadget squashes the Villains weapon or bends the bad guys gun barrel would be hard to replicate ... can't even type it....

Well the operation is done. He plated and screwed the 5th Metacarpal of the left hand and fuse the 4th Distal and middle Phalanges due to a break there as well.
Cheers,

 ++. Hopefully everything is back where it should be.  A bit of physio and you will be right to ride again.  Putting a can in a stubby holder, empty and repeat could be a good start!

The long term anaesthetic is doing wonders for the pelvis and ankle pain too.
