The thumb is healing well. The bloody mess is finally over with and now it is healed over with only my scar showing. It is still incredibly sensitive which limits my ability to really do anything with it. I am finally able to pick up a glass of water....it hurts, but at least I can do it. I went to the doctor last Friday and meet with people in the next few weeks to get a fake thumb and to schedule a surgery to improve the function of what I have left of the thumb. They basically will go in and cut the webbing between my thumb and forefinger. That will give me more depth there which will make it easier to grab a hold of things.
Life is still relaxing at home. I went to Mizzou this weekend and got to see some old friends. I had a GREAT time!

As Requested
here is an update:
i have been going to physical therapy once a week. the nub is looking much better and the pain is gone as long as i dont accidently hit it on something. i still cant really hold things very well, but i imagine that will get better with time.
the animal walk was great. i was able to raise $915. we had good weather and a really fun time.
since i have been home i have had 2 places call me asking me for an interview- safari-like places in both winston, OR and glen rose, TX. i interviewed with TX yesterday and am hoping that one works out. it seems like a great place and i am ready for a change.
casey was here this past week and we had a blast. we went to a concert in mps, saw the twins beat the sox friday night, hung out with the fam, celebrated his birthday, went to the mall of america and rode a rollercoaster and went to the falls.
it has been 4 weeks since the accident. hard to believe!
