    hannah complained of having a sore thumb 'inside' this morning. she hasnt mentioned it again since then.. they said to bring her in if she is complaining of it getting sore but i dont think she is in agony and it musnt be constant cause she only mentioned it once. did anything similar happen with your DDs.?

    Jemma's thumbs were most 'sore' when we were changing the bandages and she could see the stitches or the cuts. Apart from that she was absolutely amazing, I didn't hear much about it from her at all.

    got bandage off today and hannah cracked it when she saw the stitches! she said it was hurting but i think she just freaked out by seeing the stitches in her thumb. its still in the bent position but it can be manipulated to straighten. she is still going around doing things one handed cause she has been used to doing it with the bandaged hand. LOL i hope after the stitches fall out her thumb is fully straightened.

    how did you go with the appointment?

    Thumbs up Children's trigger thumb - post-operation discussion

    Haha - the sight of the stitches suddenly brought on pain!!! Just like Jemma.

    Thanks for the prompting!!! I have booked an appointment for her with Dr George Carter (Murdoch Orthopaedic Clinic) - Tuesday 11th of August so 3 weeks from today and 51 weeks after I first saw him about Jemma's thumbs.
