After spending 1 week in a splint, 6 weeks in a cast, and 3 weeks in a smaller cast I am finally cast free! X rays show that I am not completely fused yet but the hardware does not show any signs of rejection. Still have a lot of pain and swelling and pretty much no function in my thumb but everything surgically looks good. Now its time to be patient and get used to having a fusion.
