Today I had my pins out...

I went back to the Flora clinic, which from now on will be known as the Flora or perhaps the Mayo Clinic. I am not sure why, but my Dad called it that and it stuck.

THe procedure to remove the pins was much quicker than putting them in, and I felt so much better after the anaesthetic. My hand is also feeling way better than with the pins in it. I think it was definitely time for them to come out.

I have the pins - they are exactly like sewing pins with no heads - just a bit longer. They are the same thickness, and have a sharp end. To date, they cost just under 10K each. After the removal I am sure they will almost double in price, so I am going to keep them as a reminder. Perhaps I will fashion some jewelery out of them.

If and when I do, I will post a pic here.

Now all I have to do is work my finger so the stiffness goes away. :)
