Stitches come out today

[Hummingbird]

Well, I have a 7:40 am appointment to get the stitches out today. I dread this more than taking pics of my forked thumb - still have a lot of swelling and the first joint isn't working too well, ok - hardly works at all but we'll see -

 

Everybody have a great day

Ok, I gotta ask; "Did ya learn anything"?

Geeeeezzz do I like morning appointments with the Dr. They were pulling the stitches out 10 minutes before my set time

 

Good news - he said it looks good, everything on schedule

 

bad news ( for me ) - he said I will have to get used to NOT being able to bend the first joint 'cause what it is now is most likely what it will be later. Another pretty cool thing he said was that he could operate and 'clean up' the injury, move things around and he would get a little richer and I would have the same end result if we just let things alone.

He said "why waste our time and your money" to achieve something that will happen

naturally ?

 

Bottom line - I've got a sore thumb, gonna have a sore thumb for a while and it will most likely always be numb no big deal, it's my fault - I'll live with it
