Re: hand issues, again

Seems that everything went well with the surgery. Have 18 stiches in my left palm and 20 in my right palm. Quite a bit of pain and discomfort but I am managing ok without having to take pain pills. Just don't like the feeling I get with pain pills. It'll be 12 days before the stitches come out then I will have some re-hab to undertake. Just hope I'll be able to get back to playing, soon.

Re: hand issues, again

Welcome back nela glad too hear all went well with the surgery. The pain pills are sometimes worse then the pain. Re-hab will most likely be the hard and most painfull,it is with broken bones etc. try too move the fingers as much as you can without hurting yourself.

Re: hand issues, again

Well, got the stitches out but due to the location and a couple of areas still not completly closed the doctor placed 4 "butterfly" strips on each
hand and wants them to stay on for a week. I am still having some pain in my fingers and a whole lot of stiffness but the doctor say's that that is typical with this type of surgery. If ya'll will look at the palm of your hands, I was cut right on the "lifeline" of each palm from the index finger to the pinky. Could not be in a worse place as you you can't do anything for yourself. The doctor says that normally physical therapy is not needed after this surgery as nornalo usage of the hands works just as well. Haven't played anything in nearly a month but I beginning to get the itch. Mayby in a week or so I'll be able to give it a try.

Re: hand issues, again

That sounds painful Nela.  I hope you get back on track right away buddy.  Keep us informed.
