9/20: spending

...some of the day without my brace on.  The doctor said that I should start wearing it only part of the time.  It feels strange not to have it on, and I'm hoping that enough healing has happened, but it's also very nice to be able to work in the kitchen without putting a nitrile glove over the brace on my right hand.  It was much easier to make salad this evening with my hand unencumbered.
