But both hands are dominant to a pianist. <br /><br />I am doing the finger wiggling. He said it would help me get a head start on physical therapy. I hope so.<br /><br />Thanks for your concern.Mimi Lenoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616635898420835541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-129518627291849522012-09-14T14:09:24.181-04:002012-09-14T14:09:24.181-04:00Debi - Thank you.

Sort of. <br />. <br />There has been so much swelling that it is hard for my doctor to say anything with certainty yet. Now that it is going down we have the newfound problem of jarring it inside the cast no matter what I do, which brings more pain. I am so not amused. <br /><br />No more complaining......thank you.I am sorry you had to go through this.
