I’ve had my first accident, I guess it serves me right, as I’ve been getting confident with it and using it as a normal hand, especially as the other hand is now 2 weeks post steroid injection, it’s still sore.

I managed to put my hand under the sofa to grab something and quickly pull it out, without realising there was a plank of wood under one area, and as I pulled from this one part I didn’t know the gap goes smaller, so I ended up ramming my hand into it and scrapping down the scar. Doesn’t look like it’s painful, but OMG that stung!! And swelled up so had to ice it and elevate.

No appointment has come through yet, so it’s late, so I’m guessing carry on wearing the splint until I’m officially cleared?? Hoping it won’t be long until they fit me in, as I’m eager to see new x-rays, and if the bone has healed. I feel like it has. Because you can’t tuck the thumb in, I now call it my Lego hand 🤣🤣🤣🤣

2 Weeks Post Steroid injection in the right hand, and while it is improving, the MCP joint is still super tender and out of the two hands it’s my weakest, hence the easy accident, as I’m favouring to use my operated hand all the time. The flushing face and racing heart has settled a little bit, thank goodness. But they always say to give it the full six weeks before you can say whether it’s been successful or not. So I could see more improvement over time.
