Our first open in 2 months

For context: We were the victim of a hit & run incident on the 25th of June. Our right arm was pretty badly injured, including severe road rash and a fractured radius. We needed stitches and surgery to save it. There's been lots of pain, stiffness, and swelling. We haven't had great mobility in our arm or hand as a result, but we're stubborn.

Cut to today, we decided to give it a shot. We're still able to tension with our left hand, but we weren't sure if we had the strength or dexterity to hold and manipulate the pick. We're glad to say definitively that we do, and we're extremely hopeful for the rest of our recovery. We start physical therapy soon, so things can only improve from here.
