Well, I had the surgery on 12/1. They made two incisions on my right hand- one below the middle finger and one below the ring finger. Each about 1.5 inches.

I had the stitches out on Tuesday, 12/15 and even though I tried to keep them moving since the surgery, they were pretty locked up. So, started physical therapy. I am having trouble both straightening my fingers as well as making a fist. They want to stay in the shape of a parenthesis. There's also a good deal of swelling which they say could stay for 4-6 months.

It's just important to keep moving, keep trying. The good news is, I was able to get back to spinning class about a week ago, and I actually took a weight class today. It's incredible how fast you lose fitness, so I'm working my way back.
