I had thumb surgery on Friday. It turned out that a tendon had gotten caught between the bone which was why it wouldn't un-dislocate... relocate? stay in place.
The orthopedic had to go in through both the front and back of the thumb to take care of it. It's pinned and all bound up now. I have a follow up visit in 2 weeks, but the pin has to stay in for three.

| So much bandage for such a little thumb |
It's sore, but doesn't hurt too badly. A lot of things are much more challenging but it could be worse and just think how amazing it will be when I have the use of my thumb again!

| That little yellow thing at the end is the pin. They told me to be careful not to bump it... yeah, the plastic thing sticking out of the end of my thumb is going to be easy to avoid (sarcastafont engage) |
