Rehab Thumbs Up...kinda

So I'm 39 days post surgery and I'm hoping to get the thumbs up to start intensive rehab and PT on Wednesday. I was told the brace could potentially be coming off and I'd be put in a less invasive neoprene brace. It's going to be a slow, painful process, but patients is a virtue...especially if I want to get my full grip back and start riding again come March. No hitchhiking yet, but the joint is getting flexible and feeling pretty good.
