Journal entry by Erin Koegel —
I got my bandages off and the pins removed from my index finger on Monday. Let me just say that getting pins removed was not pleasant! I go back on Monday to get the rest of my stitches out. I think I will be done with the doctor and just seeing the hand therapist after those last stitches get removed.
Everyone says my hand is healing really well. The skin on it was pretty gnarly but it looks way better after a few days. The entire hand is really sensitive so my physical therapy has been to try and desensitize it through touch. It is getting better but still hurts quite a bit (especially if I hit it on something!).
Clara has been loving being back in daycare. It is amazing the amount of sand she brings home everyday! Right now she is obsessed with wearing dresses and calling herself a princess! Today she sat in the lazyboy while dad fed her dinner so she isn't wrong!
