Thread Name: BS: More surgery
Subject: RE: BS: More surgery
We got home yesterday afternoon. Even though we had agreed on a local, there was enough pain that the doctor went to a general. Although there is still some residual numbness and there are now pins in the hand and the wrist, there is already less pain than there was at this point last time. I believe that is a good sign.

Healing time for this surgery can be expected to be about three months. The initial cast comes off in a week or so and then will go to a lighter one.
