Yoo Hoo Gemmzie

Found you on the new board...which is where I am too :hello: :hello:

So thought I'd put a quick post on to say I'm really happy to hear things are going well............keeping my fingers crossed (and piggie paws too!) that it all keeps going in the right direction....
...How's the fingers by the way?

Yup over we all go.

Hand is very, very sore. Changed to smaller bandage, so that disturbed it a bit. Is leaving me totally knackered.
How's the wrist?

Hey Hun....disrubting it can be very wearisome........I've been encouraged to "disturb" mine every day since I gfot it out of plaster and have never been sure if that is right move.....

So, first time ever...the damn thing starts itching like mad two days ago..(cos I stopped "disturbing it" for a period of 4 weeks.....Now when I were a lass, i was taught that itching means it's starting to heal....finally after 9 months...but still got adhesions and lack of mobility so wondering if I need to attack it with meat tenderiser to "disturb it" again

Hugs ...know how you feel......

Think we've found a van already Just needs a final once over next week.

Ouch, do you have to have physio on it or are you already? I can pick up cutlery now and almost type, so getting on, stitches come out Tuesday.

Hi G


It's great news you can pick up cutlery before the stitches have come out, you;re doing really well. I'm 9 months on from my op and still not able to get coins out of my purse without a terrible fumbling pallava How are you getting on with the typing - are you one or many fingers??

I had no physio at all.....but was given exercises to do by occupational therapy - (think I pulled one of my "coloured rubbers" out at the DFW meet in Leeds last year:eek: )....... and I have to stroke the back of the hand with all different types of textures - fur, wool, towel, silk etc in order of least painful first to try and de-sensitise it

Ex OH has just given me a gyroscope ball thingie that is meant to be brilliant for improving strength etc (once you get the hang of it and I have to say I'm pretty useless :rotfl: ).........when i find the web site I'll PM you the details.

Really pleased to hear you're recovering well.....
