Yesterday I had my the splint on my arm removed at long last. It’s been replaced by a brace that is a 100% improvement over the splint; mainly, because my wrist and forearm are now freer to “move about the cabin.” I’m supposed to keep the brace in the locked position anytime I’m not doing certain range-of-motion exercises or my upcoming PT. Once I can straighten my arm(about 5-6 weeks), I can ditch the brace. Then, it’s another 20 or so weeks of PT until I’m back to normal.
I mentioned to the surgeon (even showed him the post) about my answer to his question. He was actually pretty amused and tickled that I did so and he took the time to talk about the whole thing a bit more. It was an interesting conversation. I may have some more on it later this weekend.

Geez…given the first impression, it sounds like you may have found a new friend…or maybe at the very least some respect for a fellow craftsman.
