I was officially released from the orthopedic doc yesterday. Yay! I went in for my final visit and the two surgeries I had on my hand were successful. After months of physical therapy, the joints are still tight and the scar tissue still has not released the tendon so that it moves smoothly, but that may still come with time. My doc says there is still a chance that I could develop arthritis in that hand before I do anywhere else, but he joints are lined up good and maybe that will not happen.
On a much lighter note, hubby and I are painting our kitchen and family room this weekend. Here are some before pictures and I will post some after pictures when we are done. He is doing much of the painting and I am doing all the supervising. Until I get full strength back in my hand so that I don't drop things, I am going to be the bi-stander on projects such as these. Me dropping paint all over the place...not good!
Before: (Please note my helpers taking a break - totally unacceptable!)
