Some important news for my patients

Sometime soon The doktor's office will be moving.

Recently I joined the ranks of countless Googlians and signed up for a Gmail account. Doktorsmith@gmail.com I am now in the process of switching over my blog to that account. Don't worry I will post links to the old blogs for easy clicking.
Why am I doing this you may ask. Well I just dont like having to sign in and out of stuff if I don't have to; this simplifies things.

The new blogs address is http://doksmith.blogspot.com/

In other news my finger continues to heal well. There is hardly any remnant of the incisions or the original wound aside from a small red spot and the obvious scars.

Tuesday marked four weeks since the surgery and I have begun exercises outside of the cast. In just two weeks I should be allowed out of the cast completely, unless Kathryn the hand specialist says otherwise.

Comics and digital flexion

I'm quite a fan of our tendency, here in America, to mash words together that you would never use in the same sentence in order to create a new and novel idea. For instance the words cock and block. So when I went into the local comic shop the other day and saw the words "battle" and "Pope" together I was immediately intrigued.
Imagine the pope as a womanizing cigar smoking guy from new jersey, who was trained in martial arts by Bruce Lee. Now imagine he and his sidekick Jesus fighting the minions of Hell to save humanity. It has potential.
I read the first four issues in TPB, that's trade paperback or graphic novel for the uninformed. I enjoyed it. It wasn't the best comic I've ever seen but it was good. It was filled with course humor and gore, always a plus, and it had a nice art and coloring style--something I think is essential in a good comic.
I loaned my copy of Battle Pope to Teh Squid and from there I imagine it will circulate through the flock. Also in her possession is the 1-6 TPB of "The Boys" a comic that has been said by critics to "out Preacher, Preacher." They weren't kidding folks, not even a little bit. It is my new favorite title.


In other news, my physical therapy is going well and I am now allowed to do active flexion--look it up--exercises. There have been confusing reports but from what I gather I will be allowed out of my cast sometime between 4 1/2 weeks and 6 weeks post surgery. Since the operation was on the 15th of may I am very near the four week mark. Some day very soon my urge to play videogames will be satisfied!
