I just saw the orthopod for my hand, a delayed appointment. He was happy to see what I can do with my hand: not only did he take a few fluoroscope pictures (the fracture line is still visible, but much more muted than 6 weeks ago), he also took a couple of photographs as well, including one of the back of my hand, so he can tell whose it is, from the scars, plus a fist, and a flat hand from the side. The one scar is apparently no longer attached to deeper levels, which I hadn't even noticed. My physical therapist happened by, and was pleased to see the progress I've made.
Officially, I'm healed, no more doctor visits (just in time to avoid having to get more referrals), no more physical therapy visits. But I will continue some stretches and other exercises: I can still feel inside where things aren't quite there yet. And though there's complete functionality, there are stupid hand things I can't yet do with those fingers (double-jointedness stuff, etc), so I'm hoping for some more gradual improvement.
