..Mr hand grenade is not your friend.

So today I had the pins removed from my hand.  This was a more of a brut force just yank them out with pliers than I was expecting.. no anesthetic just a cloth so I couldn’t watch and the rule 5 inspired phrase “we do this to children, your be fine”.  To be fair while it was uncomfortable, it wasn’t painful.  I did ask if I could keep them, but they wouldn’t let me..

After that I was passed onto the hand therapy team, who make me a new heat molded plastic splint, (that I can take off), and a set of rather uncomfortable exercises.

Still not see the x-rays, hopefully I will get to see them when I am back in 6 weeks time.

So good progress, but I am going to be uncomfortable for a long while yet.
