It was another day of appointments. This time I saw my plastic surgeon in the morning. It will be the last visit before my surgery, and he did another fill to the point of pain. Thankfully it’s the last fill because I’m pretty sure my ribs would break under anymore pressure.

Speaking of breaks, my afternoon appointment was for my broken pinky. Apparently I should have put a splint on it weeks ago. Since I didn’t, it now doesn’t straighten out. Or bend completely. The doctor says I should work on forcing it, and showed me by pushing on my knuckle. Ouch. It’s going to take a while, and my knuckle will probably remain bigger than the one on my other pinky.

Even though my visits both ended in pain, I know I’m on the path to healing. That’s something to be thankful for.
