Hello Lori, I see Dr. Vo a week from today (8 weeks post op) for follow up and strengthening orders for the OT. I have full range of motion and ready for strengthening. I know Dr Vo will be impressed with my progress as I sure am. Thumb is still a little stiff in the mornings and still a small amount of swelling after therapy but I've been pushing it. Looking forward to working on strengthening. I did notice with this cold weather I had some discomfort but warming it up helped. I heard one would feel the cold weather with this implant, did you? I plan to get my left thumb done before Thanksgiving. How are you coming along?

Great to hear that the hand is healed, and you are ready to begin strengthening.

I use a hot parafin bath before therapy and if my hands get cold. Maybe you can put the word out that you would like to borrow one? If you do, go online and order your own new wax.
Good luck with your "hand work"
