hi all... back to one handed, no uppercase typing again

all 6 pins are out, not just the 2 planned. since i'm as healed as it's going to get right now, no sense in keeping them- good riddance. wrist/hand swollen and discolored but not like 1st time. only pain right now is where there's no bone-ulna on pinky side of hand. no definite future plans on more surgery. depends on my pain level. if constant, then he'll do reconstruction but my movement will be worse than now and permanent. if i do nothing, i'll have no support on that side of my wrist and have to be cautious forever. so it's a wait and see. thanks for your prayers..they worked. although it wasn't major surgery, i was still scared.

i was so brave, john bought me coldstone ice cream..

thanks again for your prayers, thoughts, emails and phonecalls. big hugs to all.

Karen,

You are very brave, just reading how this happened to you scares the snot out of me, let alone, the rest of the story!!!

I can't imagine going through anything like it!!!!

Which hand is it? I'm thinking that you were holding the pup with your right hand, fell on the left hand and wrist. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!

I willl no longer hate how my hands look, never again will I take them for granted either.

You are so brave, well, you had no choice but to be brave.

Hugs to You and your family. I hope you don't have to have more surgery either.

Glad to hear everything went fine and they decided to take out all the pins. That's got to feel a little better.

I hope you don't have to have more surgery (which would mean not as bad pain and that's always good!).

I'm still hoping and praying that your hand heals as well as my moms. It took a long time but at least now she's able to use it even if it doesn't have much strength.

Lots of Love
Anna
