The Human Body is a Wonderful Thing

Here we are roughly three weeks post op the scar is fading fast and the hairs are growing back.




I still have to wear the splint most of the time, but I am allowed to remove it to 'air' the surgery site for up to two hours a day. Still getting some weird sensations and minor pain from inside the joint, presumably this is where scar tissue is forming. It's still pretty painful if (by mistake) I move it, but things are well on the mend.

Blinking shoulder is giving me trouble still, but what the hey, it seems to be improving slowly.

Next hurdle? The codeine habit. Oh joy!

Current Pain Rating: 1 for the thumb and 4 for the shoulder makes 5.
