This is a warning: Photos that follow are graphic. It's 15 days after the injury (seems like forever) and 5 days after surgery. The splint came off to reveal what was underneath. Now I have a cast. It's below the elbow!. After only 2 weeks its sure hard to straighten my arm.  And I need to work to get some life back into my curled up fingers. (I'm sorry for those of you who have suffered much more debilitating or serious injuries than this--I must seem like a real whiner--and I'm so thankful that this wasn't any worse.) So here are the photos. I go back next week to have the stitches removed.
