Has anyone else ever had a central slip that required a second surgery (tenolysis)? See details.?

I am an idiot. In May of last year I wasn't doing a good job paying attention to what I was doing with my table saw and cut the top of my index finger from the point that the finger connects to the hand to just past the middle knuckle, which of course got my tendon, about 50% of the cartilege in my middle knuckle, notched the bone, etc. I had surgery and 6 weeks later when the pin came out began physical therapy, but was unable to regain any significant motion. Then I underwent a tenolysis and 3 days later began therapy again - same results, a little better motion, but nothing to write home about. Has anyone had a similar injury and were you able to regain any of the motion in your affected finger? I quit going to the therapist and doctor about 2 months ago out of frustration. Should I just give up or is there any hope at all?
Answers:
Ouch! Sorry, hasn't happend to me. Sorry it did happen to you.
Go back to ur doctor. It may seem hopeless now but things will get better dear, I have been there! Push on with the therapy, you will be glad u did!
