The previous post turns out not to be the last hand one, after all.

I saw the doctor yesterday. He took some fluoroscope pix again, and I can see where the break was pretty clearly (though for some reason there's a 3 week lag between the bone knitting and it showing up). Still, I've gotten back a range of motion that apparently surprises the doctor. I'm about 8 weeks past the pinning, which is, according to him, the time with the most recovery. And the most of the rest s/b in the next 8 weeks (*sigh* possibly 8 more weeks of hand exercises.). So I see him next month to evaluate progress.

But the biggest part of this visit for me was: I can now ride my bike! Hooray! No more need to eye enviously even all those jerks riding without helmets, without signalling, etc. And just when I was feeling I would turn permanently into a slug, too. I am so out of shape :-(. I wonder how long it'll take to get back to speed, as it were...)

Of course, I should get my bike tuned up, but with Shavuot tomorrow night, I don't have time for extra errands this week..

Woohoo! Congrats :) Maybe in the next 8 weeks, your hand will get buff enough to put even the blue silly putty to shame.

Somehow this sounds like a body part prized by certain car enthusiasts....

Hopefully managing to do the things I had been doing previously will indeed help get my hand as strong as it had (presumably) been.ò
