Physical Therapy

Since the end of April I have been going to Physical Therapy with MaKelle. It has been quite a painful experience for me. I hope to never have to go again Knock on wood! Today the therapist made me a splint for my finger to try and get it drawn into a fist. I have to wear the thing for 30 minutes then rest for an hour and repeat throughout the day. Not Fun! It was hard to drive home with that thing on so I had MaKelle shift for me. It sure does take a long time for a finger to heal. Went to the doctor June 14 and I went from making a fist 82% to 95% I guess the splint is working but ever so slowly. I did lose a little on straightening. And it is still a little bit swollen. I keep going to take a picture of my finger and splints, but haven't gotten to it, so I'm just going to post this and then maybe I'll get around to adding the pictures later. As for MaKelle they were surprised that her hamstring was taking so long to heal. We've decided that since she hurt it and kept playing soccer that it didn't have time to heal and was re pulling it again and again. So she reluctantly had to for go Octane this past Spring and has taken it easy a little so that she can heal faster.
