Exposed and nasty!

I got to unwrap my hand today!  YAY!  Cept...havin a queezy stomach made me wanna wrap it back up in a hurry!  I have clean new band aids on both of my wounds - which feels worlds better then the splint/cast that was on it.  I'm also typing with 2 hands again!  YAY!  Cept I'm pretty slow still cuz my hand is super swollen...like we're talking SWO-LLEN!!  Seriously!  The incredible hulk has dainty girl-ish hands compared to my right one!  and it feels totally weird - like foreign almost.  I don't like it - but it's better then it was.  If I can get the swelling under control, I'll be cookin with gas! (figuratively that is...my stove is electric ;)  I'll post a pic as soon as I find the camera. :)
