Update On My Hand!

[debris4spike]

Toni did the dressing on my hand today - and although there had been some bleeding, the wound is settling steadily.  Overall the finger is looking a bit "yucky" as well, where it can't get any air to it - but the wound is much better, and once re-strapped, any mild pressure is less painful.

The finger itself is still very swollen - even though I am keeping my arm in a sling - but I am still really happy with how things are going - and the speed of the healing.

Glad to hear things are progressing well with the hand, and it's good that they decided not to operate on it as you would have been out of action even longer.

Yes - great news. My brother was also getting stressed that if they had operated then the skin was to have been taken from the rest of the hand - he said increasing the scarring, I said only one are of pain. Still, as things are out argument was defunct!

I'm glad the hand is healing up well.
Glad the pain is subsiding also.
I'll be praying everything heals up nice :-)

I meant to tell you too that the verse in the card is from one of my favorite Christmas passages :-)
I don't know if you guys get to watch Charlie Brown Christmas over there, but when I'm feeling down or grinchy about Christmas I watch Charlie Brown Christmas. My favorite part is where Linus is alone on stage reciting that passage of scripture and tells Charlie Brown that's what Christmas is all about :-)
I can't help but feel uplifted after that. It always brings a little tear to my eye... in a good way!
I just wanted to say thanks again :-)

Oh thanks for both the kind words, thoughts and prayers about the hand - but also the lovely words you have just written. Glad you liked the card - it is hard to sum up what I was tryimg to say.

Thank you for being a great friend as well -

btw - Have never seen Charlie Brown's Christmas ... I must check to see if it is on this year

Can't believe I keep forgetting to comment - guess it's the time of the year.

Sorry to read about your damaged arm, but pleased to see it is healing well.

Yes - things are going along well

It sounds like you are a fast healer, which I think would be a good thing. I hope it all gets better soon for you, it must be so frustrating with you arm out of action.

**Big hugs**

Yes - Toni kept laughing as all 3 specialists I saw on Mon kept saying that it looked like I had great blood supply and tissue structure, considering I was 46 ... they could have left that last part out!
