Great news after 13 weeks and 4 days I can make a fist with all fingers touching my palm.not very quick recovery.still no strength with the grip though.right hand grip is 10 per cent of left hand FFS .a warning to anyone who has this surgery is have plenty of money in the bank .still no benefits since being disabled and I think it will take another 3 months before I can work again . still can not use a knife.
