It's coming along :)

I thought I'd better update you guys on how my injury is healing! For those that don't know I cut my hand while I was taking a pit out of an avocado. I severed 2 tendons, a nerve and an artery!!

Last time I posted this is what my hand looked like:

And these are what I've had to wear 24 hours/day for the last 5 weeks! Only 2 more weeks and my hand will be free :)

This is what my hand looks like now. I'm amazed with how quickly it's been healing!! The therapy has been going great but I still have a months of therapy to do.
Thanks for all your support and understanding for my lack of posting.

I have been away for a couple of months while I delt with issues I have talked about on my blog and trying to get caught back up on everyone now. I was shocked to see what I did just now!! I am so very sorry that happened! But I am pleased to see that you are healing well.

Yeek. Glad you are healing up so well. I guess you have been off work too. Hope you aren't going to stir crazy! (hugs)

Wow! I remember when this happened. Now I can really empathized! Although your owie looks about 100 times worse than mine. You win for most painful injury. :)

It looks like it's healed up really well. Before it looked like a Franken-hand. Looks great now.

Are you still eating avocados? I bet you look at them differently. :)

Sorry I wasn't there with my support. I know now a little of what you went through. Living the life of the 1-handed isn't easy!
