Aloha Paul!

Healing is a good word from a doctor, and I'm glad you are hanging in there, and healing.

And I have to say, anyone that can master chopsticks with their left hand (assume you are right-handed) can do anything. That last joint does not stand a chance!

I am a firm believer that things are largely what you make them. I also believe that we heal directly proportional to how we believe we will so...... forward we go.

I'm guessing the doctor spent more years in medical school than you did, so you may want to weigh their opinion a little higher.

I busted up my leg pretty good once, probably should have gone to get it xrayed, but as time went on it progressively got this nastier shade of purple. Then it all ran down my leg (inside) and pooled in my foot before eventually all disappearing. So I have seen the looks worse as it's getting better thing first foot.

I'm glad the doctor said your finger is healing. You're right about healing proportionally to how we believe we will to a degree, the power of positive thinking can be very powerful.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!
