Another update, pretty well ready to try a light box. Thumb is sometimes a little touchy, and no where near full strength, but I can do most things now as long as I do not try to use too much force, then it lets me know to back off or suffer the pain. As I said previous, the left one is actually more painful than the operated one, so that is all positive, but indicates obviously that the left one needs the op as well. This will not be happening until next year, I need to get the right one fully operational first.
