A heads up I will be gone for a while after the 4th of July [View all]

I'm having reconstruction surgery on my left hand. It will be in an immobilizing splint for a couple months. After 2 weeks I'll start therapy. And I will be on pain meds for a while, so I won't be driving.

I know I was able to post a little after all three of my shoulder surgeries. So I will just have to see how it goes.

After I'm all better, I will be doing the right hand probably before the first of the year since the deductible is already paid.
