I had a giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath removed about a month ago. It was done under light sedation, and I wore a bandage with stitches for almost 2 weeks.
After the stitches were removed, I had an ugly scar and was sent to therapy a week later. There was some pretty significant swelling that was reduced with ice & heath therapy. Moving my finger, at 5 weeks post op is still a challenge...swelling and the formation of scar tissue are the biggest contributors. Do the exercises your therapist shows you, massage the scar often, and start using the finger as quickly as possible to prevent siffening of the joints. Good luck!

How where the causeways built?
How the Giant's Causeway was built is quite of a mystery. How the Giant's Causeway was built is a story equivalent to a legend story about a giant named Fionn mac Cumhaill. The story goes about a giant who wanted to fight another giant named Fionn mac Cumhaill, though Fionn realized that the other Giant had more great power then he had and he would lose the challenge. However, Fionn pretended to be a baby when the Giant visited his home and when Fionn pretended to be crying, the giant used his finger to make him be quiet. However, Fionn bit his finger and his finger came off. The Giant ran away and did not fight Fionn. Now, the Giant's Causeway is just a funny tale about the legend, but is not likely to be known true. But to the main topic, nobody knows how the Giant's Causeway was built. It will remain as a mystery forever...
