I still have quite a bit of PT to do yet, but the range of motion is similar to the other hand already. It will be a while before I can talk about after effects, but so far, all is good.

The final appointment(on the left hand) was on November 23.
The Hand Guy was impressed with the progress on my hand which I attribute to religious dedication doing the physical therapy exercises.
The left hand is now actually stronger (grip-wise) than the right one. Range of motion is equal to the right hand except for touching the thumb tip to the palm of the hand just below the little finger. I have about a half an inch of work to do there.
I have approval to start working it out on the Bow-flex and other workout room devices.
Surgery on the right hand is set for December 19, just in time for Christmas.

Dwight will be picking his nose under the cover of darkness, in no time at all, with both hands! Way to go Dwight

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Heard from Dwight. He is done with the sugery, and it went well. He may be off the PBF for a day or two.
Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.

Stick, I'm very surprised that he did not have a laptop set to the PB Forum over his head DURING the surgery. Seriously, thanks for the udpate.

Maybe he didn't have any available after he put one on his aerobic device.

Heck they knew if they did not take it off then you would break out the tools and do it yourself.
