Hand Update

The orthopaedist took off the ER cast and molded a smaller splint to my hand last week.  Since then I have been diligently wiggling and curling my fingers as much as possible.  The fingers are still swollen and bruised but I can now touch my thumb to the index and middle fingers.  Despite the exercise the muscles in my forearm have atrophied pretty quickly.  On the plus side the break doesn't hurt much at all except when I twist the hand too much or try to catch something I've dropped.  I'll try to avoid doing just that for the next three weeks.

I can see they are swollen.
