Hello! Just a quick update today. My hand is pretty much healed and back to normal use. I have switched back to my drainable bags now. The non drainable worked very well when using one hand but at times it was rather cumbersome. It just seemed that although it was easy to just replace and throw away the used one, there were times when in public, there wasn't a spot to set down supplies or room to work. So there were pros and cons to these non drainable pouches. It is a relief to have my hand back in operation now. The surgery was a great success and therapy is going well. I hope everyone is well! Have a great day!
