Stitches Out – NOT

Well, they took out a couple… 🙁 but, next week they’ll look again. Because of the location of the incision, my palm, they are being overly conservative.

I did get a soft bandage. I can bend my wrist and mostly use my hand. I am surprised at how stiff my hand is. I have exercises to do. I can type faster. But, my index finger is really weak and semi numb. They say that may take a few more weeks to return to normal.

Whatever, overall it is better.

Stitches Out

Today about 1:30 PT I am getting my stitches out.

I am SOOOoooo looking forward to getting the cast thing off. It is mostly cloth and Ace bandage material with a plaster inner core under my wrist. It is hot and dirty. I tried to keep it clean. I didn’t do so good. 🙁

I am hoping I’ll be bandage free…

 

Surgery

I had surgery on my hand for a problem restricting my thumb movement. The Norco pain killer has me sleeping a LOT, which is kind of nice. The bandages make it tough to type. So, I’ll blog a bit less this week and next.
