today...
Paul had a 1pm appt to get his stitches out. No problem with the docs, didn't have to argue about replacing the gauze or anything. The nurse was a little "uh oh, they get kind of antsy about that, but you gotta do what you gotta do." the doc, OTOH, was fine. I explained what was going on and she just said "oh, okay." He has steri strips (which I'll be replacing, they still had the soap and stuff on his arm so he's sweating them off) which will be helping it heal up securely over the next week or so. He has a return appointment in a month just to check it, then he'll probably head back to primary care.
Feeling and strength continue to improve. It could take up to six months for the nerves to heal as much as they're going to, so we'll be watching him for the next while. He's already SO SO much better, that anything from here is just a bonus.
