the finnnnnnger.

woahhh. this finger is giving me a workout! 

let me say that again.

THIS FINGER IS GIVING ME A WORKOUT!!

i go to therapy once a week and i am there for about 3 hours. 

now, that is a very painful three hours.

they stretch it, move it, crank it, bend it in EVERY POSSIBLE DIRECTION it seems like!!
i have to do therapy at home as well, so right now it seems like i do therapy all day, everyday! its just great. i have become best friends will all of my therapy "devices" more like "torture devices".

this is doug (the therapist) and nate (his helper)
they have been soo nice and soo helpful with my hand i am soo grateful for them!

right now the 2 major things they are trying to fix is the stuck tendon and the stiff joint.
this week at therapy i heard some good news! my stuck tendon is no longer stuck!! FINALLY! so now i can bend it just a little bit more.
he asked me what i did differently this week and i told him i went boating.. tubing and wake boarding! he told me, thats it! you have to go boating more :) hahah. so yayy for boating, it fixed my finger a little!
but sadly, my finger is not bending as much as they wanted it to by now, so i have 2 WEEKS to get this bad boy moving again.. and if doesnt start moving, i might have to get.. the S word, again. as in surgery. and that is not happenin!! surgery is a big no no! so lets pray for NOO SURGERY :)
my doctor told me that what i did to my finger is worse than breaking my femur. seriously, i was doing a backhandspring!! hahah what do you do?! well, i know for a fact: this is my last injury!! :)

 here is my fist... almost there!!

cute huh.. how do you think my wedding ring will look?! :)

so for now, happy therapy!!
(and no surgery)
p.s. my home teachers came over and i showed him my finger, he is like eeew, that is ugly with a capital UG! i felt really good.. that sure boosted my self esteem up haha. and let me point out, hes a grandpa!!
