Hi everyone,
just wanted to update you all on my progress.
I can't believe my sight. My hand is open soo far. It is completely open. I can bend my fingers just a little bit. And you would never believe it but you know the finger motions it takes to type or play the piano. I have just the tiniest bit of movement there. My PT says I will have that movement. I never had it before. Just two weeks left in the splint and I am done with it.
just wanted you all to know.

Hi again!
I forgot to add that I can feel textures now. I don't know how that happened with a tendon transfer, but it happened. I'm soo excited!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, Erica, that is so cool! It must be strange to have new sensations, too. How old are you??
