Janet20: you are a week ahead of me, post-surgery. I also have very little strength in the thumb, fingers or wrist. I expected by now that I would have enough flexibility in my wrist that I could use that hand for personal hygiene purposes--ahem, sorry if this is indelicate subject matter--but still cannot quite master it. I still have to be careful even holding a coffee cup with that hand. Is your wrist still weak? Have you regained the flexibility in your wrist? Thank you.
