Dunno. If it was costing me pay, I would go with answer A and ignore answer B.
...except that boss (D) requires a note from Dr. (DumbA).

Aargh.
Also, Nuclear Stress Test tomorrow. Thinking they could just hook me up now and get a high heart rate. Not keen on injecting radioactive substances, but I guess they know what they are doing.
Maybe I'll get bit by radioactive spider while there.
Love your "Nucleur Avatar" ... fits! As to injesting it? Not so much ?

I can't tell if he simply lied or if it was worse than he thought.
I'd call it 50/50 at this point.
The hand is better every day, but not ready to return to work yet.
Giving the physician the benefit of the doubt (and. given the surgical results, there seems to be no reason not to), I expect that he was giving you a best case scenario pre-surgery, and likely minimized less optimal scenarios.
Acknowledging that the physio is necessary was important. Hopefully it'll get you from 'better' to 'good' (or more better) in short order.

How about he was overly optimistic?

...which sounds like I should have worn boots. 
I'm mostly live and let live.
Mostly.
But folks out in 95° heat running on city streets for their health aren't quite right.
Hey Gardeners! Hope everyone had a nice long weekend! That extra day off is so nice. I was not productive in any way this weekend except I was able to get more sleep, socialize with friends & family, eat some good food, and see the new Top Gun movie
