> You have to break a lot of ingrained 'finger memory'
I'm a full ten finger touch typist, having learnt it in high school. In November last year I accidentally nicked the tip of my left index finger with a power saw - which then required a lot of swearing and a minor surgery to repair the nail bed.
All to say while the finger was out of commission due to being heavily bandaged or too painful to type with, I quickly became adept as a nine finger touch typist. Wasn't as fast but had to pay less attention to my typing than I thought I would have to.
(Finger is mostly pretty good now, if a little lop-sided. Still some numbness in the very end but overall I was very lucky.)
