Lessons learned

Three weeks had passed since my surgery and still recuperating. Finally, I've finished my antibiotic medication and my surgeon advised me to be very careful with my left hand movement as it is not fully healed yet. Infact, I still have 3 more weeks to recovery with 24/7 splinter/wrist guard. The pain has lessened although without the splinter it still hurt when I try to do some movement to exercise my fingers.

Sometimes, it is so frustrating not being able to use my left hand. And I experience frequent pain and discomfort. And there are alot of things that I can't do. And, it takes me so long to type.....for obvious reason that I'm only using my right hand.

These experience has taught me a couple of things.........extreme patience and pain threshold(thanks, to carpal tunnel!!). But, I have to re-think if I really want to undergo the same procedure for my right hand. Maybe, never again.
