Friday, Dec 5 finally came. I have been counting down the days. This was my scheduled date to have my cast removed.
Anticipation.....
Then the Doc was behind schedule.
The waiting room was packed with not-so-happy patients.
One hour stretched to two, but I wasn't gonna leave. I was looking forward to this date for two and a half weeks (4 1/2 since the surgery).
The cast came off!
A new form of bondage went on - and still the thumb is not to squeeze anything with any force. I can touch my fingertip for exercises ONLY. The splint may be removed for showers..or during PT/OT.
But, it's all thumb's up from here. I'm making progress. The pain I experience now is far diminished from that I had before, even when resting. It's all good news!
