Yet another hospital appt.

Been back to the hospital today The good news is I had the dressing removed, stitches haven't disolved yet but wound is healing really well. The not so good news is there is more swelling and pain than they would have expected and my knuckles have seized up. Well there wasn't a whole lot of movement in them before and I guess 2 1/2 weeks of not using them has caused the problem (at least that's what I'm hoping physio did look more worried than I would have liked. More gentle exercises and now we have to massage the scar area a couple of times a day, which apparently will help de sensetise the area which I can't bear being touched at the moment and also help with the internal healing process. The physio has cut the splint down and remoulded it so hopefully it will be more comfortable. Back in another ten days ho hum. My entire social life is visiting the hospital LOL...
