Thumb Rehabilitation Update

by
Hello. It's been about 4 weeks since the surgery.
Currently, I'm waiting for the surgical site on my thumb to heal well.

There were some bad things going on during the treatment.
Actually, the area where the reattachment surgery was done became necrotic and turned black.
So, I was told I'd have to have another surgery to remove it, but another doctor said it would automatically fall off as new skin grows over time, so I didn't get the second surgery. (I think that doctor might have been over-treating, as the surgery cost was enormous.)

Now, I have a slight inflammation on my thumb, so I'm trying not to grab anything as much as possible.
That's why I'm grabbing and drawing things with the part between my thumb and index finger. Anyway,
I'm slowly getting better, and the doctor I'm newly consulting with says my recovery period is on the longer side.

I plan to reopen commissions soon. Also, thank you to everyone who supported me! You are the best.

Try to rest and recover as soon as possible! Although I am also an artwork creator (with A.I and my little drawing skills) I still like your paintings better! I can say I am your long time fan but maybe you have not noticed me. 😅

Get well soon! Hope your thumb finishes healing quickly, an injury like that for any artist can be really dangerous!

oh goodness... I hadn't been keeping up and was wondering where you'd gone, I'm glad you're at least on the road to recovery!

Don't push yourself, your thumb is easily your most important finger, use the other hand instead as much as you're able and take all the time you need and then some more for it to heal before you start putting work on it again!
