Got my cast off today!!!
And yes,
it IS weird...
It's all skinny and flaky.
And looks a bit red and angry.
But, honestly doesn't really hurt
unless I try to do too much with it.
I made a little diagram showing what the dr. did...
it's actually pretty genius and in a couple months
I should be better than new.
In the meantime, I wear this little brace
and do a series of exercises and
physical therapy till it gets stronger and stronger.
(like the little engine that could).
The cool thing is -
I can wash my hair and hands now!
It's the little things that make all the difference.

Cool! So glad it is doing better. Hope it continues to get better & better every day!
Thanks for the more detailed diagram and pics. All this time I thought you had an incision from mid arm up to your thumb! So this in fact, looks far less daunting than I had imagined.
Keep up those hand squeezes!
AND..... your cast looks surprisingly like a contemporary funky teapot.
