Well, things are coming along nicely today. I changed the dressing, finding that the gauze was pretty encrusted at the corner where the wound was still a little wet yesterday. But it came off pretty cleanly, and I sit here typing this with the finger unwrapped, letting it get a little air.
I’ve been bending it a little today. You can see that in the last photo. It is really tight, but I guess that’s to be expected.
I am encouraged, and I realize that the road to recovery is going to be longer than I want it to be. I will be patient, and press myself to get back to some semblance of normal activity. I hit a few groundballs with one hand yesterday, just to see if I could! It might just be possible.
Guitar, kayaking, rock climbing…those fun things will have to wait. But I am sure that they’ll come in time.

I wish i would have caught up with your blog lately! I am also injured! I broke my right leg and ankle in early March. doesn’t it stink not to be able to drive? and after nearly 3 weeks off of work, i can only work half days now. I totally understand the frustration of not being able to do what we are used to!
Peace to you in your healing!

With respect the guitar, I do believe you have taken emulation of Phil Keaggy to new heights.
