Back home and dictating this quick post.
Surgery was a big deal. The tendon had re-ruptured so rather than just try to stitch it back together, the surgeon took a section of tendon from my pointer finger for the repair. He also removed the scar tissue buildup. I’m in a honkin’ bandage until Monday when I get fitted for a custom splint.
I’ll be resting today, maybe back tomorrow. I have posts scheduled, but I don’t know if I will comment on anything until I’m feeling better. Thanks, everyone, for your good wishes. See you soon.
Nancy out. 😎
