Thank you for the pictures Marilyn. It make it so much easier to see what you've had to go through. I hope you're not in any pain now. Do you have to wear any kind of bandage on the hand in the first photo. Looks like you will be able to heal fairly quick since they didn't have to do the cutting you described.

We miss you when you're not here, but don't overdue the typing until you're able.

There is pain in my right hand when I move it certain ways, but I'm sure this is to be expected, and the incision at my wrist is a bit tender. There is also some numbness in my index and middle finger that I sure hope goes away. My left hand is still a little numb from the anesthetic, so I don't know what it will be like yet, however I have a feeling that the end result in my left hand will be better than the right. It seems to be feeling better more quickly than the right. But time will tell.

I am definitely sleeping better. Not waking up with my arm numb as before. I really think when all is healed that I'll be fine, just a bit worried about the numbness in the two fingers on my right hand. People tell me that it will go away. Just hope so.

Ready to get back to normal activities!!!

My hand is looking even better now. The bruising hasn't all gone away yet, but the incision at my wrist is healing very well. I found a little piece of stitch that they had missed. It was lose, so I pulled it out, and it's looking much better. My two "numb" fingers seem to be getting some better. I have the feeling mostly back in them, they just have that stiff feeling like they are puffy, but don't look like they are.

My fingers on my left hand are fine. They all woke up and feel normal. I get the bandage off on Wednesday & am anxious to see what it looks like.

It's frustrating not having full function, but this will all be healed and over very soon. I'm just impatient.
