Stung and splinted

This will stay in the cupboard for a while longer

A week and ahalf ago now , I got the nasty injection in my hand and as soon as the injection pain was gone, the other pain started to go as well. Mind you, there were still movement s that would cause discompfort to a great degree and I used my old CTS splint at night to keep my wrist from bending too much.

Then last week I got to see a hand therapist. She loked, asked and then continued to make a splint. A bit of heated plastic was moulded around my hand and then go cut to size. Fasternes were attached and I was told I had to wear it for at least three weeks. I am allowed to take if off occasianlyy, but I have to wear it when using the hand. 

So far it has been okay to wear. Better at least than the other one, which allwed much more movement of the hand itself and did not incorportate that thumb. It also causes some problems, mainly with food making and other fernickity household chores like folding laundry. 

The plan is now: werar the splint for at least three weeks and then ahave an other pappointment with the theratpist. Then I have to start using it less and less, providing the pain is gone. She thoguht it was promising the hand was laready quite painless now, so had good hpes for a full recoery. 

In the mean time I cannot drive yet, as incsurance will blame me if anything ehppanes. (good grief, typing with ps;ingt is hard). On the plus side: the Olympicas will start soon and I will have all the opprotuninty to watch the lot. On the negatve side: plast ic surgery (and heand therapy) are not coveried and have to pbe paid for by me, at least until I reach my annuwal allowance, which ast this rate ig coming fast. Mind you, the first ops were last year and then the new year started. putiing my allowance back to the zero.

Anyway. So far so good and before I know it the hand will be fine again. But, no moving anywhere anytime soon!
