I went to the doctor again today for my hand.  He said it's healing nicely.  The entry wound has closed up, pretty much completely, and the exit wound is working on it.  The doctor told me to start working on getting back the strength in my pinky.  I think it's going to be hard.  Most of that muscle is gone.

On a different note, I'm still amazed at the amount of narcotics they're giving me.  I told the doctor about how much pain I've had this week on the Darvocet and he switched me back to Lortab (7.5's, 50 pills plus a refill).  It kinda makes me grumpy though about how hard it's been to get pain pills when I've really needed them.  I had an abcessed tooth a couple years ago and didn't have near enough.  But, if you shoot yourself in the hand, they give them to you like candy.

And because I'm curious, does anyone know if they give a lot of narcotics for broken bones?
