Swollen hand means we had to cut the splint open to relieve the pressure…….

The surgeon told me before I went into the operating room that in 20% of the cases, the swelling makes the splint VERY uncomfortable. He said most go to the ER and all they do is cut open the splint (he showed me where and how) and that anyone can do it.

Am grateful for the insight as I ended up in the 20%. Matt cut open the splint part way and the surgeon’s office told me today (Tuesday) to cut it all the way open so am waiting for Matt to come home to do that (Ryan is visiting his dad in Texas). Am going to go back to wok tomorrow – don’t have a clue how I will do my hair…….

I probably won’t be there all day as typing is exhausting and I’m suppose to keep the hand elevated. We’ll see…….

Thank you for your prayers and positive thoughts – it has helped the healing!
