Jason, It will get better, when I was about 12 I put my hand through a
window and nearly cut my thumb off. The main shard went through the lowest
thumb joint ( down in the meat of the hand) like popping a chicken wing
joint. they had to dig the tendon up from my wrist to re-attach . the
stretch of the scar and the tendon was a thrill. . I still can't open that
hand up like the left. And I can tell when it's going to rain<G>
