So I had my surgery, and other than being allergic to every pain med given to me, it went well.
My ligament was re-attached and the bone didn't need to be pinned, so that's a good thing. Here's what my poor hand looked like after:
This week I had that monstrosity cut off and a splint made for my hand. I have to wear this 24/7 for at least the next 4 weeks.
This has been a humbling experience - I hate having to ask for help with basic tasks. But it has also taught me to appreciate all that I can do, and will do again.
While inconvenient, this is minor. So many others are permanently handicapped. I will never take using my hands for granted again.
Have you checked out the second Dreamgirls challenge yet? It is to use a reality show as your title, stamping and felt.
Here is my LO, completed before my operation:
