I've been on medical leave since Jan.9th, I have osteoarthritis and had joint implant surgery on two of my fingers. I hate to leave my bullies,but they still have their "dad" at home so I'll probably miss them more than they'll miss me!
Back to work :p

Oh wow! I certainly hope it's not as bad as it looks!! I had no idea that they could replace finger joints. That's amazing.
The important thing is that you are getting your life back. And just think of the mess you will get to come home to every day!! LOL

I was going to say EXACTLY what Twice said, I hope it isn't as bad as it looks and I didn't even know they could do that either! Hope you are healing well and it's a smooth transition back into your work schedule 
Wow lucky bullys, they still have daddy at home!

I had no cartilage left in my middle joints so the hand surgeon put Swanson implants in to replace it. It's actually been around since the 1960's!

I drive a truck, if you have a Casey's General Store in your town you might of seen one of our red and white trucks unloading gas there. I drive for Wynne Transport the main terminal is in Omaha. Yeah, it's kind of difficult messing with those big hoses but I manage, I got the same two fingers done on my right hand last year.

Oh that looks bad! I could imagine it's going to be hard to go back to work after all this time off, medically or not. My best to you on my first day back.
