update on thumb

Got the stitches out today. A few came out hard but it all worked out.  There was still alot of swelling but overall, doc said looking good.
I can now shower that arm but I have to be careful around that pin.  I don't have to go back for 4 weeks, then he will xray it and take the pin out.

Good news! Yeah on showering the the arm! Keep doing what they tell you to do and try not to use it too much! I know this will be a hard thing to do but think twice about what you ask that thumb to do....it wants to play the guitar!

Great to hear! Neosporin is best advice to heal. I have used it before and it is a miracle worker.

Do what you are told and rest - your thumb is so important

Glad the stitches are out and that you can bathe. As Joyce said, \'just do what the doctor says to do\". Thinking of you.

I totally agree about that wonderul ointment: Neosporin! My \"blistered\" fingers, breasts, and brand new cyst at the old \"healed?\" sixth surgery/abodominally ALL are helped by Neosporing and even really an ol d and simple remedy: Petroleum Jelly.....soothing and healing to you.
Take care. I hope you mend even sooner than the doctors estimate; but, if not, listen to them....believe me, I know how difficult a time you\'re experiencing, my Friend.
Peace,
Franciann
