I went back to the hand surgeon today for a check-up. He told me I didn't need to wear the compression bandage anymore (yeah), or a wrapping on my hand. I will continue to wear a splint for at least two more weeks, but will get a new one made at physical therapy on Tuesday. I don't have to use the rubberband and hook anymore for my thumb exercises, but need to exercise it every hour on my own. He said the purphlish skin will fall off (or I can pick it off - ewww!) because it's dead and there should be brand new skin underneath.
