I am well on my way to full hand recovery. There was a mild sore under the cast when they took it off to check the progress. They wanted to put another one on me and I refused to let them. instead they took me over to the Occupational Therapist and had him put on a removable splint made out of that plastic stuff that they heat and mold on you. It actually was pretty flimsy sowhen I got home I added a wrist wrap over the top of it. I still can't leave it on for to many hours or the thing opens again over where they have the pins in my thumb joint. It seems to be healing good though otherwise. The middle finger that got amputated is healing fine. I guess my skin just can't tolerate any 'thing' that causes pressure against it.
It actually looks a lot better than this picture which was taken the day they took the cast off.
