Thanks bud, now it's kinda playing the waiting game to see if my nerve that was pinched pretty bad will come back or not

 

[uscg2008]

guys just got my stiches out today. 20 in all, most came out easy but a couple hurt like a mother. Got my PT plan today too. Going to follow it like you guys say, it's all a waiting game really. Hand surgeon doesn't knw it my ulna nurve will ever come back or not, After being flatten for 15mm for so long he gives me a 50/50 chance. All I can do is hope for the best and do everything I can do to strengthen the rest of my hand back up.

Glad you're making progress, best wishes.

What does it means if the ulna nerve does not come back? Would it be just a loss of sensation or a loss of function?

 

[uscg2008]

Well since it was pinched flat for the 15 mm for so long there is a chance that it I'll not regenerate/heal completely. I have sensation, but the muscles that give you strength between your index and middle fingers and index and thumb attrofeed from not getting any input from the nerve. So right now I don't have 100% strength on my hand and if that nerve doesn't heal/ regenerate then I never will get all the strength back. I hope that makes more sense.

Got a new mug to match the truck

needs a yota symbol on the chin

 

[uscg2008]

Ya you are right I need to get a small Toyota sticker to put on it

Great looking build! The transformations are happening. How do you like the ALPS mountaineering table? Sturdy, strong enough to have a cooking station in your opinion?

 

[uscg2008]

Oh ya defineately sturdy, as long as you have solid ground. By that I mean just clean any pebbles out of the way and set it up. Once the top is locked into place it's very strong. I love how it folds all up and is really light.
Here is a pic of it in use

Hit 86k

And got a new Christmas tree ornament

 

[uscg2008]

I got this in the mail yesterday, it was a Xmas present from my family. Got it to back up my group 31, gives me a better piece of mind.

 

[uscg2008]

This should make it easier to back up now, I got tired of just guessing what was behind me at night. The problems of having tinted rear window and tinted shell windows.

I envy backup cameras. What are the details on the one you've got there?

 

[MotoDave]

I have the same table, solid piece of gear.

Nice truck!

I went for a factory one so it was a little more than the cheap ones you can find on eBay or amazon. But I wanted to have a factory quality and looking unit. This is the one that I got.
