Good News, Better News

I went to the hand surgeon yesterday to get the results of the MRI on my poor pinky finger. Good news: I don’t need surgery. I will need physical therapy to get the finger back to normal. Better news: I can go swimming, provided that I put the splint back on afterward. So this morning I got back in the pool. I swam in the slower lane, since it’s been 6 weeks since I did much of a swim. The best part was getting back in touch with my pool pals. Next week I’ll get back to the twice-to-thrice a week routine.
