Yeah, the cast came off yesterday. The pins are out. Two weeks with a splint and I hope to be able to keep the wristy unsupported.

When the cast came off, the first thing I did was gently scratch--what a luxury.

One thing I had not counted on was how much the loss of wrist flex changes the way the right hand moves. I now have to learn new postures so I can type two handed again.

The past 5 months have given me great respect for the theory that the opposable thumb was a major step in the development of homo sap.

Very definitely limited wrist flexion due to the fusion and the joint looks quite ugly.

As they say in Maine, it feels some bettah, though.
