Followup with Doctor today. I can stop going to the hand therapy clinic and just do the exercises at home now. X rays show bones have not knitted yet. Doctors says my blood work shows low Vitamin D so will have to take mega supplements (50,000 mg) for a month. Low Vitamin D may be the reason why the bones are being slow about healing. I'm not to lift anything over 5 pounds.
