I had my right ring finger and left index finger both done yesterday. I was hesitant to have them both done, especially on opposite hands, but after more discussion, decided to go ahead. I'm an optometrist, self-employed, and thus need to get back to work immediately, not having the luxury of sick time or 'days off'. I'm happy to say that things are going well and I'm going in to see patients this afternoon. Vicodin is of course helping, and while I won't need to do anything strenuous, I still need some use of each hand, which I do have.
The surgeon made some special allowances and I won't have to have the stitches removed either, so just a progress check in 8 days.
