Digital Progress

[caddyman]

The digit seems to be healing, or at least I think it is. To be honest, it is difficult to be entirely certain with the splint on, which is (as intended) preventing me from bending the end knuckle, but when I adjust the splint for comfort (usually to let a bit of air in), I can lift the finger away from the surface a little in a direction that suggests the tendon has at least partially re-knit. I have to go to the hospital on Friday (My x-rays, my book, my bottle of water and me) and the possibility exists even if remotely, that I can take the splint off during the day at least. I suppose it may be a little early to contemplate that, but it will have been six weeks in the splint, so who knows?

I am looking forward to it; I wouldn't have believed how irritating a plastic finger splint can be!

Be careful Bry. Tendons, as I can attest, can take *forever* to heal up - if they're advising a splint for a bit longer, I'd listen.
