DH is recovering so well from the accident that took his little finger 10 days ago. In so many short days, he has drastically increased range of movement in his remaining, injured finger; he has decreased his use of pain medication to one pill a day (typically after a lengthy exercise session with that finger); become substantially independent; and increased his own activity. He is now preparing his own soak for his finger; re-wrapping it almost all by himself; playing the banjo for (very) short periods of time; and taking the dog for a walk again.
The stitches in the tip of his ring finger are floppy and loose; we look to have them removed this week. The remaining stitches are doing well and the seepage from the wound seems to be reduced somewhat. Due, we think, to his increased activity, the swelling is 'way down. His thumb seems entirely normal.
His outlook continues to be upbeat and he is interested in doing things. We are installing the extrusion bolts in the casement windows today, soon as I finish cleaning my car. I will also sand and prime the inside of the back door in the kitchen.
We heard from the thermostat-rebuilding company yesterday. They planned to ship it out late yesterday afternoon. DH looks for it to come in on Tuesday, the 20th.
