July 7th, 3:00 PM

The orthopedic doctor was in. He took of the dressing and showed her the wound and did some testing of her arm. She had a bit of feeling in an area that was controlled by the radial nerve and he did a few tests on her fingers.

He thought the arm felt soft and he didn't feel any compartmentalizing of her wound so he said that was good. He said it will be at least three weeks before the can do any nerve testing.

Overall he thinks she will eventually regain full function of her arm but it will take awhile. Between healing and rehab it could be up to three months before it really starts to be back to normal.

did you tell her she wiggled her fingers before they set it? that was awesome to witness... in time i know her arm will be fully restored.
