I'm free!!!

Finally the day has come when I can lose this splint :)

Let me start from the beginning.
I was trying to get a pit out of an avocado and the knife slipped and I cut my middle finger. Bad  I thought but not too bad. Well I was wrong, I ended up at the emergency in the hospital and left with this:

Next I had surgery and ended up with 20 stitches but at least I got a better splint :)

Finally I got the stitches out and I couldn't believe how good it looked, but I still needed to wear the splint!!

Today I visited the plastic surgeon and he finally let me lose the splint, even though I have even more exercises to do every hour and I still visit the therapist 2 times a week

I have to admit I making some skinny pina colada's to celebrate :)

OMGOSH Suzi, I know you won't believe it, but I was just thinking about you this morning! I can't believe what happened to your hand!!! Glad it is getting better. Plus I read back a few posts, and your exercise regimen encouraged me, because I am facing carpal tunnel surgery next week, and was a little worried that my exercises would go right out the window.

Man, I'm gonna avoid avocados from now on LOL.
