Mike had his post surgical appointment today. Its been 12 days since his hand surgery... and the news wasnt what we thought it would be.
Mike was in hopes of having the pins pulled ( the 3 external that we knew of ) but no way... Dr. says it needs another 6-8 weeks, and that during that time he will do therapy 2 times a week to help heal it and regain some use of the hand.
Mike said that Dr. wouldnt release him at all to use it for work or work related activities as well, he needs to continue to not bear weight on it and limit its general use.
they made a new 1/2 cast for him that is more custom to his hand, and re-dressed it too. He said it feels much much better.
Time will tell .....
This photo is of the 2 pins ( covered by the yellow junk ) about 3 weeks post surgery.
