This Saturday, will be 8 weeks since the crash.

Went back to work on Monday.

Long finger, ring finger have had pins removed. They will be the easiest to recover in therapy. Index finger may need more work. Bones set a little crooked.
Thumb is still attached. It has good blood flow. Still has 2 pins helping the bones fuse.
They should come out next week.

Slow process of healing. Patience is needed.

Still have some dizziness from the concussion, especially putting my head on the pillow in bed. This too takes time and rest. Very frustrating..............but at least I am still here.

Thanks to every one for their good wishes and prayers.

I hope to be racing next year, if we can find a suitable car. Just looking to run a 10.0 index class on a Pro tree.
Good news, but that was a rough road you went down...good luck with your recovery.

Prayers for your health, and return to the sport you love!
