Single-Handed Updates

For those who've wanted to know, here is an update on my hand surgery. (For those who have a very weak stomach, be warned, there is one slightly graphic pic of my hand)

I had to wear this bandage wrap for a week and I couldn't get my hand wet.


So I had this fancy, high-tech walmart bag I had to wear over my hand while I showered.


After just about a week, I got to take off my bandage wrap and I have to admit I was kind of terrified to see what was underneath! But it wasn't too bad at all. I only had two sutures.


For the second week I just had to have a bandage over my sutures but then after I got them out, I haven't had to have one on at all times but I pretty much have so that no one has to see my nasty scab!


All in all, I am glad I did the surgery and am happy, just three and a half weeks out, with my recovery. I have almost full movement and can pretty much do everything I want with it. I have ditched all my wrist pain and the numbness is almost gone too, which is wonderful! I still don't have all my strength back and Jarad still has to open jars, etc for me but it is slowly returning as well. So, I would say it's has been a successful first surgery/recovery experience!
