Hand Update<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The left hand continues to improve every day. Both extension and flexion are at about 85%. The incisions healed perfectly. I got to thank Dr. Pouplolo yesterday and give him a goodbye hug. I thanked him and told him that I loved him but that I hoped that I never had to see him in his office again. He understood. He thought I was doing great and that the chance of re-infection was as close to zero as you can get (if I can say that without giving myself a kinehora). <\/p>\n
