Finally got the pins removed!

2008-02-04

On Friday it was finally time to remove the pins from my thumb. I got the most local anaesthetic that I have ever got, it was literally just that area that was numb, I could feel the top of my thumb and the rest of my hand and I could hear everything and feel a scraping feeling when the pins were removed. But it was no pain. And it was over in only 10 minutes.

 

Since I last wrote I have been able to train on the roads but only in time trail bars, I could not really hold the handle bars but it was fine if I put pressure on the elbows instead. It has really been nice to be able to cycle outside again. This morning was the first time that I was out without the TT-bars, I don’t need the splint anymore and everything should be fine now. When I came home my thumb was a bit swollen, but that is only normal, it will take a while until I am free from pain and have full movement in the hand.

 

If everything goes well this week I will do my first race this coming weekend. It is the PE Herald in Port Elisabeth, I have done that race twice before and been 3rd and 4th. It is a good race and it would be nice to do it again.

 

I will let you know how it goes, hold your thumbs for me!:-)
