Update on hand

So I just took off the splints to air out my fingers and clean them with Witch Hazel. Just taking off the splints took about 30 minutes of physical and emotional pain. For a week and a half, I have realized what we all probably take for granted in having two functional hands:

• washing your hair
• styling your hair
• driving
• cooking
• cleaning
• sleeping (where do u put your hurting hand?)
• picking up your cat
• opening bottles and things
• typing
• bathroom routines
• actually walking--blood flows to injury...lift arm in air, and arm hurts from holding up
• sitting in car--vibration of car kills
and the list could go on...take a second to appreciate these things. I'm kinda bummed...
next appt. 7/22
