Ewwww... yuck!

These scans are blurry because the hand cannot be placed flat.
The scanned image is only sharp on the glass surface.

These pix look pretty ugly.
My hands dont normally look as bad as this,
since they are not normally trying to squeeze
into a flatbed scanner.

The restrictions are not normally noticed by others.

The right hand had become rapidly worse over the last month. The operation will tidy up the left hand (skin graft), hopefully, and straighten the right.

-Please excuse the blood-

If you look carefully..
You will see a small hole in the middle of the graft... where the blood was let out. =)
