Well it's going on 7 weeks now,I have gotten back about 70% of my finger movement... the test is being able to make a closed fist again. It's getting there, I still have therapy twice a week and I'm out of work until Oct. 28th when I see the surgeon again, he said a week ago that he would like to see me make a fist the next time. My disability insurance money did start a week late, and I lost my first two weeks pay forever as that is not covered.When I called them asking about my second two week check ( which I got ) they said the doctors note taking me to Oct. 28th was not enough, I must go see him again and get the disability paperwork filled out again as they need a medical reason from him to continue paying me....
My scar is improving visually but I really don't care about that, just getting my tendons repaired and working again is all I want. My hand and wrist is still swollen some and I wear a glove and arm sleeve for that, plus some putty over the scar to smooth it out that the therapist made up and applied to it. Overall I'm really doing better than I expected and hoped for and I'm bored as hell waiting to return to work. I exercise my fingers at least three times a day and I'm now mostly out of the cast, I do need to find something to exercise my arm too as I've lost all the muscle I had in my upper and lower arm...
Thanks for asking !!!
