The Pins are Out.

    Taking the pins out of the Curmudgeonette's arm required  2 little incisions each one closed up with  one stitch. The plate remains as a permanent emplacement.  A slightly larger incision below her wrist relieved the carpal tunnel pressure on the nerves to her fingers.  She reports that the numbness in her fingers is gradually dissipating and she is encouraged as the feeling returns.  The current splint she is wearing will remain until she see the surgeon a week after surgery. There has been very little pain associated with this surgery.
