I'm going climbing today for my birthday! I'm going to climb on the auto-belays at the Jacksonville gym until I collapse. It's going to be fabulous!

I did climb last Sunday with my friend Kiara. I'm still not able to do the 5.9 overhang that I'm working, But I can climb the 5.7 overhang like it was nothing.

Also, this next week I'm getting a second opinion on what to do with the bad hand. The other surgeon's plans just seem too... "maybe this will work." I'm hoping the second opinion will either be different or more reassuring.
