Most of the week between 6 to 7 weeks I’ve been resting, and not because of the thumb. That’s mostly took a back seat to the hips and back pain I’ve had to settle.

YouTube short Day 45 post op The yellow egg is feeling quiet easy now to squeeze. Wonder if this strength will stay once the cast is removed?

Now we have much warmer temperatures, I can tell you the desire to pull this cast off is enormous. Now it’s feeling sweaty, heavy and smelly. The intrusive thoughts are here! But we have 6 days left of it Whoopie!! It’s looking rough and frayed in places so I’m glad it’s not much longer.

Can’t wait to not have this needle stabbing style pain, I’m convinced it’s due to the cast. Never had it in the last cast last year, but this one is stab stab stab in certain directions. Oh well just 6 days to go…..

I’ve tried exercises with the pinky red egg, and they are so hard compared to the yellow. So it’s still being challenged even in the cast. Youtube short Day 47 post op

This time next week I’ll be free. I can honestly say I’m struggling with it and this pain, so time is going so slow.
