Abbynormal

The x-rays were good, I'm healing well. The ulnar issues are normally abnormal, the sort of thing that happens when one of a pair of bones abutting a joint is broken, the other one gets a new position, and concomitant soft tissue issues. It'll get better. Back to work right after Memorial Day, with a pared down splint that I can keep clean. No padding, no velcro, I'll keep it on with coban that I get at work. I feel confident I will be up to it next week. I'm so close even today. Turned the key in the ignition, and could do the push-turn to take it out. Took me a few seconds longer than with an unbroken hand, but not too much more.

Warming up for the torture.




First real therapy session, and it was a doozie. I breathe through it, and it does feel strangely good to move it. Heat was lovely, the movement was searing. Trying to get little pegs into a peg board... I got laughing so hard, because my right hand is drunk. I have a lot of work to do this week, to get it in shape. Right now, I'm stunned and worn through.

Black iris on the verge.


Hungry cats.

I'll refrain from a quote from 'Young Frankenstein'. Glad you're healing well, and soon back to 'normal'. I just got back from Seattle to MT, big difference in weather: Seattle has already had a day above 80f, currently here it's 38f and mixed snow and rain.
Take care,
Mike

Should,

Could be worse, could be raining... please never refrain from quoting YF, it's an old favorite.

It got up to 80˚ here a couple of days, rained an inch, cooler since. Snow in the mountains.

Taking care.

Glad you're healing.

That black iris will be stunning..

gz,
And I thinned and spread it, so I have it in three places now. It does take it's own sweet time blooming, though.

I was wondering if the black iris was on the way. Good to see it's working on a big entrance.
