Carol - Re: Wires Cut Today!

[Guest guest]

I don't know what my Surgeon's preference is. I'll be sure to ask

him at my next appointment, 6/15. It sounds like yours knows what to

do. It all makes sense. Don't let the minor movement ruin your

excitement! You are unwired!!! Woo Hoo!!! I'm doing a happy dance

for ya! And the splint is next ... then I'll do cartwheels!
