Two weeks down the road

Two weeks ago I had been admitted to the hospital and was speaking to the surgeon. My wound is well healed, my hand is still a bit tender and aches if I use it too much. But the big news is: My stitches are gone! Yesterday they looked like they were coming loose so as suggested by the surgeon I rubbed them, the ends came away from one of the four remaining stitches and the other three came away complete. Now that they're gone I can finally start moisturising the very dry skin. The scar has very soft and new skin at the moment, hopefully it will soon start to harden. The recovery has been pretty easy from this surgery so I am going to push to get the left hand done in the autumn.
