Hand Update

Well its been a long 6 months since the accident. There has been; A splint for 6 weeks, Occupational Therapy twice a week for 5 months, Dr. appointments every 3 weeks, a bone scan, x-rays, a mri, a ct, a circulation test, a (my very very very least favorite!!) a nerve conduction study, and a trip to Eugene to the hand/wrist specialist (with another scheduled). Not to mention the things that are either difficult or not able to be done. The result? Well there isn't any nerve damage, my grip is still very weak (10 at last measurement, functional is 30), and I am most likely going to have to have arthroscopic surgery (to look inside and see whats going on). Thats where things get interesting. With luck whatever is going will be fixable. At this point we just don't know and that is the most frustrating thing of all of this. Will let you know how that goes.
