2 1/2 weeks post-op |
The surgery on my hand was a success! Recovery is slower than I'd like. The pain is MUCH better since surgery. It is still a bit painful but overall better. More localized numbness to my thumb and pointer finger but that should improve. Saturday when I was showering I noticed a pop/snap in my wrist - which I later learned is the tendon snapping over the bone out of the tunnel. It has sporadically happened since and has set me back in my therapy (going 1-2x per week) and my return to work. Boo. My biggest complaint is the 3 pound weight limit (until 6 weeks post-op) which of course doesn't allow me to pick up either of my kids. I can hold them if they are handed to me but very carefully and briefly. So of course a big thank you to my parents who are essentially living here again these days. I am so very thankful for you both.
Since typing is not all that comfortable.....that is all from me!
