This is interesting…

I now have little leather straps around four of my fingers connected to nylon string that goes to little wire pulleys that are connected to aluminum blocks that are held in place by allen screws to a bracket on the plastic splint that goes up the back of my hand and the nylon strings are connected to rubber bands that are hooked to the back of the splint. They also gave me a big paddle like splint that I have to wear at night. Twice a week I have to go in and get this whole thing adjusted and wear it for four weeks.

Doctor said that the tendon was so damaged that it could not be repaired and that it was too small for a graft so he connected it to another muscle that will have to be trained to control the tendon but after about six weeks of hell I should regain full use of everything.

I look like something out of a bad scifi movie.
