A human hand is made with 27 bones
some apes have more
a gorilla has 32, five per finger
a human has 27.
If you break an arm or a leg, the bone grows back together by calcification
your arm or leg can therefore become even stronger
but with a hand fracture it will never get quite right.
In every battle and with each punch you will think of it
you'll be careful
but once in a while the pain will come back
like needles
like glass splinters
