10 weeks after surgery the bones are almost healed. New x-rays taken and this shows the truly gruesome nature of the plate. Is that screw supposed to be sticking out of the bone????
I've really benefited from therapy. I have about all the flexion back and just need to rebuild strength. It won't ever match the right wrist in terms of flexibility, I fear.
The scar is healing nicely, as I've really been working on it every day. Massage with lotion for 10 min. at a time, several times a day. The thin red line.
Still have to be careful with carrying weighty objects. I can lift the big laundry detergent jug but can't carry it.
Thanks for all the cards and letters!
Waving bye with the left hand!
