Ask HN: Finger Injuries and Coding

After injuring my left pinky finger (Sharp knife, 6 stitches) I've lost partial feeling in the tip of that finger. I didn't expect that it would be much of a problem, but now I'm having great difficulty keeping my left hand on 'home row' in the right position (resulting in CAPS LOCKed gibberish) and it's really affecting my productivity.

So I'd like to ask... have you had to deal with a finger injury - major or minor, and how did you end up dealing with it? Tips/tricks?
