Wedding Ring Removal

I had my dressings removed on Thursday. The scar I have is about an inch long (2.5 cm for those not old enough to be familiar with imperial measurements) As I had internal stitches it is extremely neat. My knuckle is very smooth with no nodules although still enlarged due to bone deformity and a dislocated index finger, but I expected that.
Others can't see much difference but I can and I'm very pleased with the results and I am able to use my enlarged knuckle joint as a 'finger' once again. Yippee
(I was tempted to put a photo on the site but my hands are so ugly that I wouldn't want to give anyone nightmares)

Yes, our version of 'success' is different, isn't it, Legs. I'm so pleased it all turned out so well.
As for a photo - I wouldn't have a nightmare but I might wonder how you got my handsIf at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

D'you know Barbara, I don't think even I'll get away with that
I must add that I have seen such a difference since my wedding removal and I didn't realise how much it was 'pinching' me whilst doing ordinary household tasks. My finger feels so much better without it and, surprisingly, Mr Legs hasn't left me ..........yet!
Take care.
