Tendon Update

I've gained back some limited movement.
I can play guitar again (Win!), but I still do not have the dexterity built up again (Fail.)
Hopefully I'll regain more thumb strength back soon, and I'll be able to solo again.

Update on my tendon.

Current mood: crappy

My splint was taken off yesterday, but I still can't use the thumb.
It's very swollen, and I have limited to no mobility, and I've been told to keep trying to move it to regain strength and movement.

Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to do any resistive tasks (holding objects... video games... guitar... ¿left handed fapping?); If I do any resistive tasks, I run the risk of ripping the tendon apart again.

So yeah, I don't really have my thumb back...
It's more of a sausage that's stuck to my hand.

I'll update again in a few weeks with my progress.

I've severed a tendon. =[

Current mood: sad

So, I was working in the kitchen at work and a knife slipped through and went into my thumb.
I severed a tendon and have surgery on Tuesday. =[

After Tuesday, I will have 2 weeks in a splint with no mobility, and 4 weeks of physical therapy after that.

I can't play games that use more than one hand (I'm typing this with one hand) and I can't play guitar. =[

So, yeah, I'm really bummed out right now...

On a positive note worker's comp is paying for all the medical bills, and they're paying me wages because I'm unable to work.

...I still want my guitar. =[
