Was swimming today and realized that I just let this blog dry up and die. How sad, as so many people were with me through the journey, and I never had a closing party.
After a slew of physical therapy, hand therapy, swimming, and home stretching – I am a free man. Have been for a while now.
Had a pretty bad case of frozen shoulder (which is now just a bit naggy). I still have a ring finger and middle finger that are numb on the tips, and I don’t know if that’s going away. I’d like full feeling back, but seeing where I started, this is not a bad place to end up – if it is indeed the end.
The biggest question people have asked me – what about mountain biking? I haven’t been on a trail since that day back in February and I don’t know when I’ll get up the nerve to do it again. I do miss it terribly, but I have a few reminders that will keep me skiddish- pun intended.
I’m lifting my son again when ever I feel like it and that is probably the greatest part of healing. Juggling is easy once again. I can sleep on my right side and reach my left armpit with a bar of soap.
It’s good to be back. Many thanks to everyone who sent love, support, and kind words. It was one hell of a ride.
Over and out.
