Praises you found a better surgeon who knows his stuff...lots and lots of tiny bones in the hand! :eek:
Sorry you have to go backwards but the good news hidden in there is they seem to have caught the errors in time to fix them, even though you've lost some months of recuperative time...
It would have been worse (yes?) if they'd not found it and things have fused and arthritis set in and you could have been in worse pickle!
I can't imagine the frustration you feel, and not trying to minimize it Ed... But I do feel this sense of "hope" as I read your posts, albeit, a delay in recovery for an active chap as yourself!
Prayers for a good surgery (typed god surgery--maybe should have left that?) :)and for a quick healing this time!
Keep the Son in your eyes!
