i made it to services twice (one evening, one morning). sort of strange how it didn't feel particularly strange, though i did have to figure out how to balance the siddur at different times. good to see people, too. and i was glad to be there for birkat cohanim (blessing of the priests).
yesterday i had another doctor appointment. much has changed. the stiches were taken out. the pins are scheduled to come out on monday (HOORAY!!!), after which i start much more physical therapy. right now, i have removable splint #5 (light blue velcro, this time), which comes only up to the first joint. and i have more exercises, bending the 2 fingers in the splint at both joints. it hurts some to do, but the useful sort of hurt, pushing a bit, but not a lot. the worst of the pain is on the back of my hand, still... i'm so glad the pins are coming out, & my hand will start to heal. in the meantime, i'm on antibiotics- one of the pin sites might be infected, so to be on the safe side...
tonight is the 8th night of the omer, which is 1 week and 1 day of the omer.
such a beautiful day yesterday that after spending so much of it in the hospital, had to get out, visit friends. it was raining by the time i left, so i borrowed a plastic bag for my arm. 1 or 2 friends might've come over, but it ended up being a quiet evening reading daniel pinkwater instead (thanks, hrafn!). he's such a silly writer...
