Two More Weeks

We went to Columbia last Monday and they took off most of the padding around Alan's finger.  He no longer is "the Claw".  What do you think it would be called now? (See the picture below)  They still left the pins and a bit of foam to prevent his catching the pins on something and ripping his finger.  He can take the foam off and let things dry out.  You know how your skin gets under a wet band-aid; it would do the same.  We go back again a week from this coming Monday to get the pins out.  We're looking forward to that.  Now he has to start exercising the muscles to get back some of the flexibility.

This is so weird.

Andrew saw this and said, "Uh, is that gross? Why is that gross?" Yep, gross. :) When do the pins come out?
