A few words of follow-up: My hand is healing much faster than either the hand surgeon or the hand physical therapist had anticipated (though too slow for me...). I still have a long way to go but am back and functional on the keyboard, this after learning recently from these professionals caring for me that when they first looked at my hand two months ago at the time of the accident, they privately wondered how much (if any?) function I'd get back. I work hard at it constantly (and painfully...) and couldn't be more pleased that it shows. Thanks again, everyone, for your good wishes--and again my gratitude to those in the ER at TV's Regional Hospital who were involved in my care that awful day!!!
