Gotta ask - what's with the purple "X" on the middle finger?
Good to hear the surgery went well!

I would assume the X is to show not this finger! Had x's on my left arm ad left let on my first double bypass.

I call “taunting” for the man that can’t type with one hand.

My guess is, that’s the finger, my surgeries they had my wife mark the joint to be worked on with an “X”

Hahaha. They use a felt pen to mark your hand and then the finger to be cut. First the check in nurse does it, then the surgical nurse re-marks it and your wrist, then the doctor actually initials your wrist to prove that he checked the for the correct side and finger. I took some alcohol to it and only a shadow of it now remains.
The therapy (which you start immediately after setting up from the table) must be working because I am already typing this with two hands. I go back to have the stitches out in a few days and will find out then how soon I can go full-normal in my use of the hand. Pain was minimal requiring only a bit of ice and Tylenol the first 24 hours or so. At this point it doesn't feel any worse than any other minor cut or knuckle-bang any of us might get during our normal activities in the shop so I'm happy right now.
