Today, we had an appointment with Dr. Puttman to get Bill's hand Manipulated ;o((
As I have said many times... We live a Charmed Life !!
Turns out his hand manipulated itself last evening ;o))
The doctor had warned that the cord causing the contraction might pop on its own. However, most times, the doctor must manipulate the hand to make that happen. Last evening, about 8pm Bill put his hands over his head to stretch and BAMMM the cord popped. It scared us both as you could actually hear it pop!! Bill had about 2 seconds of sharp pain and then the hand just relaxed:o))
BEFORE AFTER
We got exactly the results the doctor said we would get. There is no way to completely straighten his finger. However, he now has much better movement of the large knuckle and the broken cord will stop pulling the finger toward his palm. Bill is pleased with the results and even more happy that he is completely done with this...no needle, no splint, no PT :o))
ALL IS WELL !!!
Yah, it must feel good!
ReplyDeleteOuch! I guess he'll never have a proper cuppa English tea :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic news! Happy happy joy joy!
ReplyDeleteIt's true, you lead a charmed life! May it always be so. We are happy, happy for the best of all possible outcomes!!
ReplyDeleteWell, how cool is that???!!! Good job Bill!
ReplyDeleteHappy for Bill! Yes you do lead a charmed life!
ReplyDeleteI guess you could say that $3K shot was worth it. Now Bill will be able to clean and polish Baby that much faster with a better grip on his polishing cloth. :c)
ReplyDelete"Boing!!" That just sounds better than "manipulate".

Good deal!
ReplyDeleteHey guys…we're looking at staying at Huntington Beach SP in the spring maybe…is site 25 the one to get or are there other better ones we should try for first?

Took a look and it looks like all the really nice sites with beach views are electric/water only. We can do a week without sewer if we use the bath house for showers…are the shower facilities great, nice or not so nice there?
