The Unveiling

Just got back from the appt with the dr/nurse, the first peek at the finger since the surgery. I’m not sure what I expected, but it’s pretty ugly! The finger is swollen, a little bloody and really painful. There was a good bit of dried blood that made the bandage difficult to remove. It hurt like fire when the nurse touched the inside edge. I meant to take the camera to snap a few pics, but as usual, the Sublett Train was late leaving the station (it’s hard to get it all going in the same direction with only one hand—you try taking a one-handed shower!) and I forgot to grab the camera. I’m supposed to change the dressing every day, so maybe I’ll snap a pic for you then. But then again, some of you might not want to see it.

**pics will be posted here**

I’m moving from percocet to vicodin, and that means that I’m not allowed to drive anywhere for the next week. That’s a bummer…I’m getting a little stir crazy! I don’t know how long the recovery time will be, but I’m learning to be patient.

Overall, I’m doing pretty well though. Thanks for praying. I sure do appreciate your love.
