was doing a lot of writing. I was back to normal as soon as I had my stitches. I missed 3 days of work and really could have gone back the next day, but was recently married and just took advantage of having a surgery to have some down time. After a week the stitches were pulling and I had discomfort until they came out at 2 weeks and I was back to normal activity after that. I found I did lose some strength in my operative hand. I was the one that could open those stuck jars, can't do it anymore, but I had surgery 20 years ago this year and all is well. I do get some discomfort if I work a lot of hours, like now when I have been working OT for months, but after some rest it is better.
They have perfected techniques now and although the surgery wasn't a major surgery when I had it, recovery time is shorter these days. |
At the time of my surgery I was not an MT, but - me
