The top white bandage will come off tomorrow and it will go unbandaged most of the time. He cut along the same scar on top but it was not as long. About 1 inch shorter than last time. The arm is a little achy at times and when that happens I prop it up on pillows. I will go back to the Dr next week and he will remove both bandages and remove the stitches. Then he will put on either a cast or splint like I have now and it will stay on for 4 weeks. Then to occupational therapy for 8-12 weeks. My fingers are a touch freer now but I can only bend the outer 2 knuckles. I can not use them for anything yet. I am not supposed to lift with them and they hurt a bit even with light pressure. I signed my signature with my left hand yesterday…not pretty!
