The hands seem's around 90-95% recovered now. It feels like the wrist muscles themselves are working just fine, however I still don't quite have full flexion in bending my hand back with my fingers extended. If I leave them curled it seems fine. There's still numbness, but it's not really slowing me down now. I'll see how it goes after typing a ( Read more... )

We're scheduled to be back home Wednesday, but our trek westward seems to be in 500 mile increments. Off to Iowa now, though if I remember correctly we do get loads going home from there ( Read more... )

I took ibuprofen, vitamin c, and a couple Vitabiotic a little while ago, so we'll see what gives. I don't know if I bounced on the bunk and landed on that spot funny, or the nerve's just irritated, or what. It's annoying, but

Whilst peeking under a trailer to see if the hook was correct, I scraped my scalp against the edge of it. Seems like it bled forever and HURT. Now I'm seeing if I need a tetanus shot, and if so when I can get one. Fortunately one can't really see it since it's covered up by hair. I'm having the mate put antiseptic on it and check it for signs ( Read more... )
