An update on my injury, woohoo
 

Well, its been exactly 5 weeks and 2 days since the injury. Right now Im finally typing with two hands woohoo, so u can only imagine how great therapy and recovery has been. I went from 0% movement in all the fingers and the wrist in my right hand to 40% (as per doctor saying) which Im able to straighten my wrist, curl it down towards the forearm, and move all 5 fingers with ease. I still have a while to go though. I am starting to extend the wrist backwards and moving the fingers while doing so. The tendons are still a little tight right now but hey, its 40% better than i was 5 weeks ago. Expectency to go back to work is New Years (which then I'll be around 90% and able to do my job). 100% recovery will take time due to all the scar tissue but Im expected to get full function. The therapist and the surgeon, as well as I, are suprised at how fast Im recovering. For those that dont know, I got cut at work with a broken porcelin toilet and sliced 7 out of 12 tendons that control my fingers + wrist. But yea, I like to thank the people that helped me out and supported me thru the process. Deeply appreciated. :-D
