Hey y'all, I'm 5 weeks post op and coming along very well. The OT was so impressed that she has me doing the more advanced exercises usually scheduled for later in the therapy time frame. My thumb is stiff when I wake but with a little movement and stretching that is resolved and I get only slight swelling with therapy. I've got 3 weeks to go for the bone to finish healing so I can start strengthen exercises. I do still get slight pain (or little stingers as I call them) while doing one specific therapy exercise so I work through that one slowly. OT says that will go away with time. I'm real happy with the implant and my progress so far and look forward to the strengthening phase. Left thumb is next, most likely in mid-November as I have to get it done this year so Insurance will pay for it all. The one thing I have right now is time due to the virus, time to do therapy on both hands at home as needed well into spring next year. Looking forward to being pain free.
