Re: Tomorrow's my surgery
Australia Calling. Good luck .When you wake up and as soon as you can try to wriggle your fingers gently . In my case and Ive had 15 or so operations I believe the earlier you get movement the better , that is of course your not having a graft. Thinking of you. UJ18XX

Re: Tomorrow's my surgery
Thanks for your support! They will be using local anesthesia so I don't think I will be able to sleep during the whole thing :)

Re: Tomorrow's my surgery Conan
Australia Calling. Hi Conan You say you are in eastern europe.Where abouts. I was interested to note you are seeing your doctor so soon. In my case and I've just had surgery myself and here it is gererally l4 days later when you see the surgeon to remove the sutures. Maybe they use a different technique tell us briefly.I wish I had seen some of my cuts and tucks but I've always been knocked out . Keep us posted .Regards Barry.

Re: Tomorrow's my surgery
In Germany I had looked at mine the next day and I didn't like what I saw. Actually I was shocked. In the mean time (3 years later) my hand looks well, just a little scarring left, but immediately after surgery the blood and the stitches looked pretty awful, at least to me.

Re: Tomorrow's my surgery
I'm in Lithuania. They put a cast on my hand from the palm to the middle of the arm in order to limit movement for faster healing. I will only have my bandage replaced on Monday. If all is well my next visit will be next Monday (10 days after the surgery) to remove the stitches. I hope this forum supports posting pictures, I will provide some before/after shots when my hand is free again.

Uploading pics?
Unfortunately this forum still doesn't support uploading of pictures. There is (as usual) hope for the next release of our forum software ...

Re: Tomorrow's my surgery
Conan,
Congrats on uploading your pictures! The only question is why would you operate on hands with straight fingers? When were these taken?
