This afternoon the hand therapist removed my dressing and my hand is now free to do what it likes. It has healed well but I now have to do scar massage 6 times a day and exercises 4-6 times a day to keep my fingers flexible. This is going to keep me busy and I'll have to remember to do it. At night I have to wear a silicon patch, glove and splint to keep my fingers straight.
I am told 3-6 months before it is back to normal but at least it is no longer red and sore.
This morning I did lots of weeding with it (wearing excellent gardening gloves of course) and then did some patchwork. I am touch typing this entry so it looks as though all will be well. Cross your fingers for me, I can't cross mine properly yet.
So 3 weeks post op all is looking a feeling good albeit a little stiff.
