Hey y'all. I'm sorta not typing too well yet, but wanted to thank everyone for all the nice emails you sent today and for thinking of me. It's easier though to type one message here than to write to each of you individually. Hope you understand!
The surgery went really well and I was out of the hospital by noon.
So far the pain is just a dull ache if I turn my wrist to the side but I want to make sure that what they gave me this morning has completely warn off before I take anything (so I know the worst it will be without anything!)
The hardest thing so far that I didn't realize is that I have to keep it elevated (like, with my elbow on the table and my hand in the air) for the next 5 days!!! What a pain in the ars! Though the silver lining is, work is pretty much out for now.
When I first got home I emailed work to let them know and I was sitting at a table with the laptop below me so typing was one handed and I was having all sorts of trouble because I type without looking at the keys and 11 of the letters on my keyboard are warn off so I kept hitting the wrong keys, LOL. But just now, typing this, I've realized that if I type on my lap, with my arm up above the keyboard up on pillows, I can use three fingers on my left hand pretty well which is making it a lot easier. Yay!
Dinner (I don't think I can hold silverware in my left hand and my mother bought corn on the cob for dinner!:rollhappy
and showering in the morning are going to be the next big challenges.
Anyway, I'll probably still be a little quieter than usual but I'll be around.
