Got the cast off and it looked and smelled oh very raunchy when the guy pulled the cast apart (circular saws rule!). haven't attempted playing viola/violin yet, but I am typing with the pinky now and it feels a little strained. Use is the best therapy I think. Surely I will be practicing a lot when I get the chance because the faster it gets better the faster I can move on. No real sensations yet, but when I told the doctor that I felt buzzing when he took the cast off it supposedly was a very good thing (reverb from the saw, such a cool feeling). When he saw it he also said it looked very good and the assistant lady (secretary but in the know on all of the procedures) wanted to watch and she was so ecstatic when she saw ("Oh that looks terrific, baby girl!"), made me feel happy and somewhat relieved. Yeah, I was thinking long last night and a certain scenario came to mind:
(cast off) doctor pauses, gets closer for a better look, mumlbes something, looks at me and says: "It looks like there was a complication." and then a) "We're going to have to go back in and try again." b) "There's nothing more we can do. You can never feel the side of your finger again. I'm sorry." or, c) "We're going to have to amputate."
I can laugh now, but man if that didn't seem like a real possibility last night.
Now back to the "there's nothing more you can do right now, in the meantime, do what you can to keep your life moving" feeling. Not a bad feeling, just not really much emotion behind it, which is for the best right now, as I have a lot of school work to keep my mind on. Speaking of which, on to the rest of diff eq homework, energy homework and ethics reading. Anything else? Hmm..
