 Hi Brooke and Sonnie. Dr. Louis Strock did my surgery. He is wonderful and the girls in his office are fantastic. He is on 8th street in downtown Fort Worth. Sonnie, you are right, I have been using my right hand more and it is more swollen. I will try to relax, thanks!

Helen, Thanks for the name of your Doc.  That's one I haven't "interviewed"!  he surgeon who did my arms originally is doing the revision, but I have some other parts that need fixing!  I might look around at different surgeons.  Good luck in your recovery.

The swelling in my hands was not too bad because my surgeon wrapped my arms tight with an ace bandage all the way to my fingertips. Day 3 I was able to free my hands and the swelling was minimal after that. Best wishes for a smooth recovery!!
