Back from the hospital - the surgeon tells us that there was a lot of arthritis in there. They have trimmed the bone and attached a tendon to the bone(?) to make life easier. A couple of weeks and Kendall should be able to do what he wants with that hand. Right now he is learning to deal with life one-handed. The block they put on has not yet worn off - good from the pain point of view, although he has some of the good stuff for that, bad because the arm is useless and VERY heavy.
