The sling is gone!

Just a quick update on the old arm. Went to the doctor this morning for a checkup on my arm. They took new xrays and all seems to be healing well. He was surprised at the amount of motion I already had. That is probably because I've been cheating a bit and slipping out of the sling so I could use the keyboard on this computer. (Did you know that 70% of your typing is done with the left hand?)

He took the bandages away and I no longer have to wear a sling. The stitches are still there but will come out next week. All that is left is to get back to using it and 1) build up my strength in that arm and 2) work the soreness out and recover full motion. I've already found being rid of the sling has helped. With the sling my daily trips to the gun range have required me to only use one hand in my punching holes in the target. Today I was able to use both hands and my aim has gotten back where it belongs. Although I remember the doctor telling me it would be a "one inch incision" here is what I wound up with.

Things are looking up and I hope to be back to normal use by the first week of March when we head out for California, Nevada and other points west.
