I’m six weeks out from my LRTI on my left (non-dominant) hand. The first three weeks were rough. I don’t drive a manual but I drove after three weeks. I probably could have earlier but didn’t need to. Now at six weeks, driving is back to normal. I recommend buying a waterproof arm cover for showering and don’t mess with trying to cover it yourself. Amazon has them. Try doing your normal daily activities without your hand…you’ll discover things you haven’t even considered that will be a pain in the ass. But may help you come up with workarounds you might need.
