May 9th... one year later

Today is the one year anniversary of what has come to be known as 'The Incident" on a day I called "Bloody Tuesday". For those of you who have no idea what in the frilly dickens I'm talking about, please refer back to this post. For fun visuals, go here.

So a year after the incident the hands are doing well. There's still some scar tissue I'm working with in most of the fingers, and the little one on my left hand (the one that was in the splint) healed a little oddly, but at least they all work. Best part is, I'm almost back to the full range of motion I had before.

My hands do hurt sometimes, like when I'm cold and wet or if there's bad weather coming.... and I don't have all my gripping power back yet. It makes a few things hard, and I'm still a bit unsure and tentative about a few things.... but for the most part I think it's good.

Aside from the fingers, things are ok. Baby 2.0 runs great, the boat is awesome when it's not raining, I'm still in the apartment, and Civil War Days at Wildwood is next week! This year I have a dress, corset, and the whole bit, so I'll be in period dress after I get off work on Sunday. It'll only give me a few hours of free time to hang out and see the encampment after I get done working, but it'll be worth it.

Scooting off for now.... more updates soon ;)
