Oh, what a year it’s been so far!
I wasn’t planning on having surgery this year, but sometimes you don’t get what you want!
Despite using tools my entire life, you wouldn’t believe that I managed to cut my thumb with a hand saw back in February, which required plastic surgery to repair the damaged extensor tendon. 😕
This has been the longest period I’ve gone without being able to lift free weights (6 weeks) and what a long 6 weeks it’s been. I still have another 6 weeks before I can start to load my wrist and use my thumb without the risk of further injury.
Running has become my primary form of exercise, and as I have 7 races to complete, one per month starting in May. It's actually a good time to focus on my running!
My tendon is healing really well, as you can see from the pictures. It was pretty messy at the beginning, but hopefully I’ll be able to start physiotherapy in the next couple of weeks to get it moving again. 😃
P.s big shout out to all my clients for being patient with me during the past 6 weeks.
Most importantly a big thanks to my no1 supporter, carer chauffeur that's had to put up with all of my moaning while helping me with all of the things that require two thumbs 😘
