Hank, I think time heals most wounds.
I have had a busted right hand take 4 years to finally heal to 75% because I kept using it as best I could.
Last week I nailed the heavy bag with a hard right showing off to my son, and was instantly reminded that it
still needs more time.:( I'll be using feet, elbows and chokes if shite goes down.
Cheers, Don
