The big reveal. Got my surgery dressing and splint off for a hard cast. Incisions look good very little swelling and very little pain. 4 weeks in the hard cast and then removeable splint and occupational therapy for 4-6 weeks.

Everyone in a wrist cast extends that finger. Think nothing of it.

I'm glad you're recovering well. Sounds like it was a much needed surgery.

@SaucyCheryl You're very welcome. Does it feel different than having bone in tere, or can you tell yet?
Very happy you are recovering so wonderfully!! Nice to see you in here again.

Okay I'm trying to figure out why they marked you up with Purple? That's new to me.
The nearest comparison I have is carpal tunnel surgery and that was a breeze in comparison. I woke up with the electrical feeling GONE. (Had one hand done and then the other - cause I live alone and someone had to - you know? 
... ).
And immediately stopped dropping my drinking glasses.... everywhere.
I hope the pain is greatly reduced. I hate that bruising post surgery - it's like "Dang!". "Look what they did you to you - you poor thing!".

@SaucyCheryl i can imagine! I hope you have some good drugs.
Pain doesn't aid healing.
I wasn't pain free? But my nights had been so bad prior to surgery that my sleep actually improved.
Also tell people that hand position alleviates all your pain!! ?
Respect to your surgeon. Those are some neat stitches.
