Today I went to the doctor to get my bandages changed. My hand and wrist look pretty gross. There is a large Z-shaped incision on the back of my hand and wrist. It is all purple and red. The two pins run into the same hole but at different angles. The hole looks like a crater, all red and white, and split at the edge. The doctor says he drilled the pins into the bones using the pins themselves as drill bits. His drill turns at about 1000 rpm to do the job. I'm glad I was asleep.

He repackaged it. He expects to be able to put a cast on it next week.

Ugh. I'm tired of this thing already.
