No more surgery

At least not for now. I have a different splint to wear, an order for
more and more intense physical therapy, and an appointment with the
orthopod six weeks hence for a status check.

So we shall see.

Is that good news, Wooly?

Its not bad news, but not good either. I think there's still a
problem but the doc wants to give it more time to see if I need to
finish healing. As I think I've said befo I certainly am not
averse to conservative treatment, but I am averse to repeat procedures
when a problem can be fixed the first time through.

The split is supposed to force my thumb into its "correct" position
but I suspect I won't be wearing it except when I go for my checkups.
I can pick my nose when I'm wearing it, but that's all! *hehehe*

LOL Well, that's the second most important thing, isn't it? g

Higs,
Katherine (hoping that it works for you)

Wooly

Glad that you dont need more surgery right now but I understand the
frustration of the splints.

Take care

Wooly,

I'm SO glad to hear that you don't need surgery ... at least not right
now. Yes, splints are terribly annoying ... (even if they do allow
taking care of the second most important thing!! LOL)

Perhaps you could wear it at night while you sleep? It might not be as
good as wearing during the day while awake and attempting to use the
hand, but it would be better than only wearing to the doctor's.

Hi Wooly, wow you sure have been through the wringer this winter! Hang
in there with the PT. I know it hurts. My thoughts are with you.

Wooly give it a chance, never mind the picking of noses. Better to hang
in there for a while with a splint, than having to forgo knitting and
spinning altogether. You went for advice, now work with it. Boring it
may be, but It may just do the trick. Start reading all those great books
on spinning and knitting that you had never time to read, and leave off on
the overworking of your hand for a while....even for nose picking..LOL

Wooly I think Els has said it all - you really should persevere with the
splint to give it a chance to maybe work God Bless Gwen
