As I prepare to leave for New Orleans I am adding a short post on my Skiers thumb progress. I give the CDN Healthcare System I have been exposed to two thumbs up (no puns intended). The operation went well, the casting and semi weekly appointments have been timely and efficient. As per the picture below I am down to a thumb splint for 2 more weeks then I will likely have a few Physio appointments to help me learn how to use my right thumb safely again. I have been warned that a re injury is a nasty thing to do and the repair is very undesirable, so I have been following the rules very closely ( this can be hard for me sometimes).
All said I am happy with the services I have had and I have been fascinated to learn more about the hand rehab side of Physiotherapy as it is all new to me. Life is great as long as we keep living and learning along the way!
