Injury update
Some have asked how my finger has been doing lately. I’m still in occupational therapy and making progress. I still can’t make a tight fist and I probably never will again, but it’s getting better. I can easily touch my finger tip to the bottom of my palm. My concern has been gripping the bar for various lifts (especially the heavy ones), but I haven’t had issues lately.
I went to the ortho that did the surgery this past week and he removed the last pin. It’s weird to watch someone cut you with a scalpel and feel the pressure of a medical instrument resembling needle-nose pliers pressing and moving against your bone. I’m a science teacher so to me it was pretty cool. He stitched me up when he was done and I got to keep the pin. I’m just glad he numbed me this time; the last pin he extracted hurt to the point where I was sweating.

Glad to hear your finger’s getting better. About the surgery and watching it, I’d be on the floor and out! I can’t stand watching that kind of stuff; that’s why I won’t watch those shows on The Discovery Channel. But really, great to hear it’s coming along ok for you.

Hey - What happened to your finger in the first place? Sounds painful dude.
