Had first meeting with occupational physio today, my hand seems to be more mobile in the week since the plaster came off, I just had a removable spica splint. Today the lovely physio lady had another look at my xrays and guess what.....a fracture, hmmm told them so but did they listen?
Anyhow it appears to have healed on its own and I have exercises to do to try and restore the mobility of my thumb. I also have a dinky little support thing moulded from pink plastic and it sems to be working.
My thumb will never match my other one apparently, due to the damage to the ligaments, which as the physio explained weren't simply sprained but actually torn off the end of my bone leaving my thumb just "swaying in the breeze" as she so delightfully put it !
Ah well, it feels like I have turned a corner now and by thetime I see her again I am damn sure I will have made progress !
