It's me again

Just got back from pt and same old thing, very little movement. I guess its steady as she goes. I do love the corn husk machine though I would love to have one. It blows hot, ground up corn husks all over and around your hands for 10 minutes. It feels like grits or cream of wheat for the northerners in a whirlpool.

2 weeks after surgery

Hey everyone, It's been 2 weeks since my surgery and I'm doing well. They removed my trapezium bone in my right hand and replace it with one of my arm tendons, then tightened things up.
