Hey guys, I am a first year student podiatrist and been a member on here for a while. I feel like this would be a great place to ask a question regarding tendon recovery.

I recently had an accident with glass and severed the flexor tendon in my thumb. It was a horrific experience but now I have just had surgery to reconnect/stitch it (1 week ago).
Does anyone know what the recovery rates are like for this type of surgery? Obviously there are huge variances but do you think the tendon could ever get back to full strength e.g doing rock climbing? It really worries me as you use scalpels all day long as a podiatrist.
I am currently doing the Belfast regime to keep the tendon moving but its quite a mental challenge to do. I'd like to write more but its taking hours to type with one hand. I thought i'd ask here as I'm sure some of you are anatomy experts.
