so, i had surgery today

[beefcake]

nothing super major, carpal tunnel, the years of lifting and typing have been catchin up

now one to whine, but n e time your gettin knocked out it;s kinda scary, they told me i'd get like 3 martinis and i said, that may not do it for me lol

worst part, no food after midnight, i was dyin this morning

of course i had sold my surgeon a car, i always network lol, luckily it wasn;t a lemon, he made a joke and was like yeah, or your stuff would be all crooked to the left when i;'m done

if theres typos i'm already tired of backspacing

got finished about 10:30, and told the wife to take me straight to perkins, they told me to go home, my wife told em i was planning on going to work and they said i was legally drunk,, (they've obviously never seen me drink)

so, after perkins, i the wife drop me off at work, had an appointment already scheduled, sold my car and took off about 3:30

all in all a productive day , i lived and sold a car haha

now i gotta wear a spling for a week and a half, i started practicing left hand activities last week, lol, don;t ask

we'll see how this one goes and then i'll probably get the other done,

they prescribed some vicodin but i'm not big on pain killers so i;ll take a couple tylenols and see how that goes

Glad you are doing OK, hope you heal quickly, Live to sell another day!

I feel your pain. I just woke up and put ice bags on my knee, it's twice as big as my other knee. I got darvocet, vicoden make me sweat and my heart race.

[mustang3091]

hope your feeling better

[PONYGRL]

When it comes to wrist problems, I feel your pain, trust me! In 2005 I shattered my ulna and radius in my right wrist... I was in a full arm cast for months, and had 2 surgeries for that, including a closed reduction and had to have it manually snapped back into place. 9 months after that, after it got more screwed up, they discovered that my TFC (main ligament in your wrist) was completely torn and had to have reconstructive surgery again, plus 2 or 3 more casts...... oh, after that I had to get 2 external pins put in with a plate for 12 months, and another cast. And surgery again to get them removed. So I would not wish wrist problems on anyone!

Hope everything heals for you and you have no problems though! A co-worker just had the same surgery last week and is doing fine now.

[tdm309]

I feel your pain brother, I shattered my wrist in a bike accident about a year and a half ago. It sucks, but I hope you get to feeling better soon.:D

[NXcoupe]

Hope you feel better soon Beef! Surgery is always nerveracking, but you got through it and you'll be feeling a lot better soon. Take care!

[Stang 38L]

[Mr.Moontang]

Good luck with your "spling" , I hope you have a speedy recovery!!!

[Jaylynn]

Take care Terry!

[beefcake]

back at work today, didn't even bother getting the vicodin filled, just been hitting tylenols every 5 hours,

got most of the feeling back in my hand, gonna keep icing it throughout today, but overall i feel decent

antisteisia or however it's spelled doesn't do me too bad :)

[IWRBB]

Mine felt fine the next day too, I went to work. But 2 days later it now looks like a grapefruit was implanted above my kneecap. Not at work today. Good luck.

[Timido]

I had carpel tunnel and ulner nerve surgury in October. I was doing good after a couple weeks. It is nice to have feeling back in my pinky and ring finger.

[Goldenpony]

Get well soon Terry.

n e time

Did you know that by typing this, you actually had 1 more keystroke than if you had just typed it out?

n e time = 8 keystrokes
anytime = 7 keystrokes

So your 13-year-old girl text messaging language just contributed to your carpal tunnel.

I have no idea why that jumped out at me. Apparently I'm bored.

[Goldenpony]

Hope everything heals up soon. Best wishes.

[IWRBB]

Always schedule a surgery for the first thing in the morning, makes the no eating after midnight thing WAY easier. Hope it all goes well for you.

[MrsAPE]

Ya think?! :doh:

[winner70ta]

Terry, I had my first surgery on the 12th. It was for an umbilical hernia repair. Like you said, you get kinda nervous about being knocked out but it was like the best sleep that I ever had. Sure wish the healing process was faster. It won't be until the end of April that I can lift anything heavier than 20 lbs. :(
