hand report

Saw the surgeon yesterday. I was splinted two weeks longer than the original plan as he went on
vacation. The good news is that I seem to be OK, healed with a 20% or so deformity and will not need
corrective surgery. I do have to splint at night for a while, and be really careful of jamming it
and possibly tearing it. But he says I'm good to go, This is very good as many out there thought the
second round of splinting was waste of time and that it would have to be correccted surgically.

maybe I'll take a photo with the new camera... two months worth of abraded (dead) skin looks
really yummy

Look after it though eh? Don't want to see a post saying you re-injured it.

We'll assume you will be....

Don't worry - my imagination is quite up to that ;-)

Despite the results, that just seems so wrong.

YAY!

I still don't like putting my "officially fully healed" knee down on hard surfaces.

I left the stitches in my knee the full recommended time, despite my usual rapid healing of wounds.
The Doc snipped the stitches and wondered why I waited too long to get them out. The scab fell right
off, revealing a nice pink scar.

I couldn't bring myself to watch as they trimmed the ripped and ruined skin from the laceration on
my knee. The good news now is that after riding for the last three days straight, I have absolutely
no pain in that knee (oddly, my right knee - the healthy one - is sore!)
