Post op, week 02

This week I had post surgery follow up with Dr. Dunlop at Manukau Super Clinic, he was pleased with how my hand was looking, in four weeks will be the next follow up. I can take the cast off at home, move my fingers, no weight on it though.

I also had the second post op appointment with the hand therapist at Handworks. In the week between appointments, the amount I can bend my fingers has improved 5-10 degrees, I have no lateral movement of my ring finger, muscles and tendons that pull it to the ring finger are okay, but because the other side is where it was cut open to operate, there is some damage in there - I think that will take the longest to recover, it is going to make typing difficult as my finger tips will be in the wrong place. 

Everything is improving, so that is good.
