wanted to pop in with some good news. Noticed a couple days ago that after a little over 3 years my thumb appears to be waking up. I can lift it now about 1/4 of an inch !!! Back to therapy.......

I have missed you guys, but it couldn't be helped. Hope you are all well.

George

hey george
congratulations!!!! you are making all those drs wrong about hands not coming back after 2yrs. i am pulling for you to write a new chapter to inspire vigilance even when they give us little hope.
thanks

Nice to see you again George, missed you too!
Great news about the thumb-my biceps came back well after the 2 years and I know of someone who got quite good recovery in the third year, which started with a thumb wiggle.....fingers crossed for you all :0)

Good to see u back. And what good news u bring. U prove that when it comes to recovery it is far from clear when to expect it to stop.

Yep..I second what Athos said...it is becoming clearer every day that the docs don't know as much as they think about this injury when we hear about regain in function years after the so-called deadline. The more I study this injury and it's mechanics, the more I am amazed at the sheer complexity of it.

Good luck George...It's great to 'see' you back here!!

Take care

So wonderful to hear from you George!! I was thinking about doing another "where is George" post. We have missed you as well. Great news about the thumb. Keep us up to date as to how things go.
