Therapists shocked by my improvement

The doctor was happy with my progress this morning. But the real surprise was the shock and dismay expressed by my therapists at the improvement in my finger mobility. I only spent 30 minutes with them before they sent me on my way with some new exercises to try.

The doctor explained that an injury like this takes 2 years to heal. He said that I could experience pain and swelling for the next 6 months. And he stressed that I shouldn't perform any heavy-duty physical exercise for a month. But he took me out of my splint and I'm happy about that (also haven't taken any pain meds today yet... maybe I won't!).
