Hi Im doing ok
I get my sutures removed tomorrow & I cant wait my bandages are driving me mad :x
I keep trying to do things but end up hurting my wrists
I know I shouldnt but I hate people doing things for me
Mum went home for weekend shes back later today but sending Dad round to make sure Im behaving :roll:
So Im trying to get washing done & empty dishwasher before he gets here :!:
I must admit I do find typing difficult & unlocking the door painful but I will never learn :roll:
Thank you for all your posts

Don't undo all the surgeon's good work by trying to do stuff - if you damage yourself what was the point of the operation? Do the exercises they have given you - I am sure they have, they always do! - and do them gently. You must give your hands time to heal. Yes, it must be frustrating, but so was NOT being able to do things as your hands were bad. This is your chance to have them working again - take care, don't overdo things, let them heal. Thinking of you. DD

Hi Maria,
Good luck for tomorrow I hope all goes well for you. Yes I am sure you will feel a great relief when you have the dressings taken out. Please take care though as the wound will not have healed yet.

Hi DD & Ironic,
Sutures are out luckily I used to work with the nurse who took them out so we were busy catching up on old times so didnt really take much notice when they were coming out
The wounds are healing well but feel really tight so ive been putting vasoline on them
Im still getting pain & have some stiffness so taking things easy & wearing my splints when it gets too uncomfortable
Mums here till Fri to make sure I behave & Dads still doing school run as Ive been advised not to drive till nxt week
Had a lovely bath yesterday bliss
Having a shower today & so looking forward to it I can was my own hair at last :!:
Saying that we took our son to my hairdressers at the weekend & my hairdresser took pity on me got one of her girls to wash it dry it & style it & didnt charge me it really made my day
Im glad Ive had them both done but wouldnt advise anyone to do it unless they had help as it really restricts your activities
Thank you all for you messages of support they have really helped
Keep well & safe

Hi Maria,
That was so nice of your hairdresser, good to know that there are still some good people out there.
Please do not be tempted to overdo things next week.

Well, that's good news, the fact that you have gone back to work must be encouraging for you. Don't overdo things tho, setbacks are most definitely NOT required! I wish you well. DD
