Hello! It’s week five and the 3 inch pins were pulled out of my thumb today–literally pulled out with pliers. After a couple of weeks, the body starts to reject the 3 inch long metal pins that are used to guide the broken metacarpal bones which was shattered into four pieces, back together. Yep! I started my rehab right there in the doctors’ office, and anyone that knows me would tell you they expect nothing less. I started by washing the funk off of my hand and cleaning off the initials of my doctor. It felt like I was looking at an autographed ball that a professional athlete signed after reaching a career milestone. Was this a milestone for my doctor? His 1000th pin stuck into a human hand? D
