Dupuytren's #8 ...

Five weeks post-op ...


Now, this is looking better.
 

It took the wound in the centre of St. Anley's palm 4 weeks to heal.

He has been attending a hand clinic on a weekly basis for some aggressive physiotherapy.

The physiotherapist has a charming demeanour and a pretty face that disguise an expertise for inflicting excruciating pain.
"Pain is good!" says she as tears appear on St. Anley's cheek.


Then, along comes an occupational therapist who carefully fabricates a splint from some thermo-plastic material ...

"You need to wear this only at night."

After two nights of sleepless discomfort and Anglo-Saxon expletives St. Anley is quite impressed ...

Look, my little finger
is almost straight!

"Fine," Mrs. St. Anley says, "Now you can get on with some chores!"
