    Wonder if he shakes his head when he has to turn up the thermostat.

    Glad you are doing better!
    I know you want back at it ; go easy on yourself.
    Don't need any hurdles in the way of your healing.

    Thanks Y’all! I’m very fortunate, it could have been much worse for sure. Just hoping that this thread might get someone else to thinking “maybe I should slow down a little, or go at this a bit differently.”

    Looks like a normal thumb but is 10% shorter as orthapedist had to slice and slide flesh to cover the missing chunk. With the scar tissue and nerve damage its tingly/numb and my dexterity isnt the same.
