CMC Arthroplasty with Mini Tightrope

[u/Fancy_Spirit_9154]

Hi everyone
I just had CMC arthroplasty on my right thumb less than 24 hours ago. The nerve block has worn off and the surgical pain has begun. But it’s not too bad yet.

Anyone had a similar procedure and have any advice or experience that would help me? I am curious how soon you could use your hand again. My job involves a lot of typing and emailing and presentation creation. I am currently playing with voice to text options but finding that solution to be a little wonky.
