it went ok, i.e. woke up from it but my fingers are completely dead now.
worse than before and i cannot use my hand, no grip.
i am hoping it will recover otherwise i should have left it alone.
pain is tolerable up to now, but expecting worse tomorrow.

little finger is now fairly ok and ring finger is looking hopeful, serious
pain from the op now kicking in, no pain, no gain i suppose.
they rarely give you sufficient pain relief, they have this weird idea that
paracetamol plus something else will do the trick. it doesn't.
i still have my stop blood clots stockings on, they are so tight i won't be
able to get them off for days with one hand.

That sounds more than unpleasant--very painful. I hope this is "just" a
temporary problem during the early healing process. I have never had such
serious surgery. However, one thing I did notice in the surgery I have had
was that it was very painful and debilitating at first but then moved into
the process of gradually declining pain and increasing in function. I hope
you will have the same effect.

Is June taking care of Boyfie, or are you able to do that?

MaryL

I wish you a fast recovery.... Hope every thing turns out good.....

I do wish you a complete recovery. When I had my hand surgery, it took
about three weeks. I have had 15 surgeries in my life and that is when I
told myself thatwhat doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Just between
you and me (and the internet) I try hard to forget them Best wishes. MLB

I can do it myself unless my arm gets infected in the next few days which is
always a possibility, up to now it's good

Purrs and prayers that the pain eases soon.

It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I actually drove Mr F a mile today
to see if I could. I won't be doing that again for a week or four ;-(

My DR told me it was illegal to drive with an "operated on" hand. He
said insurance would not cover in caseof an accident. Do you have such a
law?
