Also, I saw the "making as much of a fist as you can" bit and a lot of people will take that to mean "make a fist, must make a fist!" the tendons will kind of shorten up but after a time will stretch back out. I've had to deal with that after minor surgery on both big toes, they were suuuuuuuuper tight for what felt like ages but are both totally ok now.
what you want to be careful of is doing too much back and forth movement right away in case there was damage to the tendon sheath - that will result in tenosynovitis, further complicating the injury and lengthening healing time.
