Great news today from Dr. Rebecca Yu in Berkeley, CA. I can start physical therapy immediately. It is a long road ahead for sure, but at least I can start taking things "into my own hands"...
Range of Motion (passive and active) and joint mobilization will be the focus for the next 6 weeks. Dr. Yu was very happy with the surgery overall, but I do have some ulnar displacement which is limiting my ability to rotate my wrist.
I can wean off the soft cast but will need to avoid strain or falling on the wrist.
Rebecca Yu was recommended by my surgeon in Québec. They were colleagues and he said she is the best and I agree. 8 hours of public transportation in one day, but it has been worth it. If you need a hand surgeon in the San Francisco Bay Area, see her website and make an appointment!
Next I will meet the physical therapist ASAP.
