Therapy progress

Posted 05-26-2008 at 05:17 AM by OOk

So the post op therapy is going well! Coming out of the surgery I had almost NO MOTION in my fingers and wrist, they were seized in a half fist like position. After 6 weeks of therapy I can now lay my fingers out flat or open (like how you'd high five) and conversely I can almost close my fist completely. The wrist motion is still very limited, but it's improving weekly.
I had the pin removed a week and a half ago and needless to say that was a feakin huge burden removed. It got slightly infected at the end and was incredibly painful. Anyway, that's all behind me now and I think I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! w00t!!!
The major goal now is to be street riding by mid to late June. I CAN'T FREAKIN WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a pic of the pin curtousy of The Turk (which I had sticking out of my wrist for 5 weeks!!!!!!):



And here's a pic a few days after it was removed (it was still slightly infected at the time:



-cheers
