thanks, this is the second time I had to have my right hand done. I get the left one done in the new year.

Hi - just saw the pic of your big owie on the SDM thread - wishing you speedy healing! I had one hand done several years ago and my biggest advice is do not be a hero and try do too much stuff, especially at the beginning. I was never good at much with my left hand, but sure made use of it after the surgery! Every now and again I still find a little note or recipe I wrote out with my left hand, and it's quite hilarious to see - such scribble!
Take care, and take it easy!
