Thanks Lynnette for asking your DIL!! I've heard very different recovery periods and like Bethanne said to me: it's as individual as your fingerprints. I'm hoping of course for a quick recovery but mostly a goods outcome; I also paint, do many arts & crafts as well as being a nail tech. I would go bezerk if I didn't have proper use of my hands, arms etc!!! -Val
