Well the soft cast is off, they took out the stitches -- I get to keep all of my digits, I have to start physical therapy for thumb and middle finger ASAP. I should be pretty happy, but to look at and touch my fingers leaves me with this overwhelming feeling of WTF have I done?! The loss of tactile sensation in parts of them is just creepy...
My doggies are hyper-curious about my injured hand, I guess I'll let them check it out after I wash it a few more times... poor little guys can't begin to understand exactly what happened, I'm sure, but they're keenly aware of where I was hurt, and I think they have an accurate sense of the severity.
Of course, going for walks and playing frisbee are on the top of their priority list -- which is exactly as it should be. They've been pretty good about walking with both leashes in one hand. (My little one gets irritated by her brother's exuberence sometimes.)
Anyway, that's my update...
