THIS IS B'S HAND BEFORE HIS SURGERY YESTERDAY. IF YOU CLICK ON THE IMAGE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE A LARGE GROWTH ON HIS MIDDLE FINGER. WHEN HE WAS IN HIS TWENTIES, HE WAS HIT ON A MOTORCYCLE BY AN AUTOMOBILE AND ALL THE TENDONS ON HIS LEFT HAND WERE SEVERED. SINCE THAT TIME, ARTHRITIS HAS FORMED INSIDE THE JOINT, MAKING IT VERY PAINFUL AND ALSO STARTING TO DISTORT HIS HAND.
THIS IS THE IMAGE OF HIS FINGER AFTER AN IMPLANT WAS INSERTED IN THE MIDDLE FINGER. WE WERE AT THE HOSPITAL ALL DAY YESTERDAY. HE WAS IN PAIN LAST NIGHT BUT EACH DAY SEEMS TO BE GETTING A LITTLE BIT BETTER. HE HAS A CAST FROM THE TIP OF HIS FINGERS ALL THE WAY UP PAST HIS ELBOW. AT LEAST 5 WEEKS OF RECOVERY ARE EXPECTED AND ALSO PHYSICAL THERAPY. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO HIM BEING PAIN-FREE AFTER THIS IS ALL OVER. IT IS INCREDIBLE WHAT MODERN MEDICINE CAN DO FOR PEOPLE. SUCH ADVANCEMENTS IN MEDICINE GIVE ME HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.
