Well, I am DEFINITELY not going to be very active here for a while. It is just as well that Joe is out of the game.
I go in for surgery on my hand tomorrow. The tendon is completely separated. In fact, it pulled chip of bone out as well. If I had gone in to the emergency room right away, there wouldn't have been any concern about fixing it up. But since it has been 3 1/2 weeks, the tendon may have withdrawn into the palm of my hand. If it has, it cannot be easily repaired. If that happens, which is the worst case, then the doctor will fuse the joint so that it won't suffer any more, and will remove the whole tendon.
Whatever happens, my left hand will be completely immobilized for a few days. After that, I will be wearing various sorts of braces for the next three months.
The fun part of all this is that I am left-handed. And I touch type! So,
computer use will be at a very low level for a while (other than reading).
