Hey Horace

[jon-nyc]

How's the hand?

And how's the exchange student doing. Does she have any prospect of getting home someday?

can't move the thumb joint still. I think I have a secondary rupture of that tendon in the wrist. I felt a sharp pain there once while the primary rupture was fresh and I accidentally flexed that muscle. i think the tendon was in a weird position and tore itself. If I'm right then there was a length of tendon there between my wrist and thumb totally disconnected from anything else. One end got connected in surgery and I think the other end is still detached. But the doctor thinks this may be just a "block" on the tendon sheath. I could use an MRI but they're not doing those according to the doctor, due to the virus.

The student left a couple weeks ago, she's back in japan now I think in home quarantine. Her school here won't be re-opening this year.
