An arm and a ... hand?

Oct 09, 2011 01:30


Had last appointment with the orthopedics dept at Dartmouth re my perpetually broken right arm. The PA declared it "done" -- the X-rays make it clear it's really not healed, though. Looks like I'm spending the rest of my life disabled.




So that freed me up to schedule corrective surgery for the acute carpal tunnel in my left hand incurred when I fell & broke the right arm last year.

I did that on Friday morning at Dartmouth's outpatient surgical clinic.




I wanted a fancy balloon to cheer me up, and the Hanover Co-op had two candidates. I almost asked for the "standing" cow balloon ...




... but the spotted lizard won out. Here's Elric posing with the gorgeous fellow:




Recovery will be pretty easy, even though they had to cut through my palm. Ewww. Can't type for a week or so. Or hold a laptop.

Fic to heal by always appreciated. For some reason I'm craving Nine stories. Go figure.

I wish this didn't hurt so much. Pain is getting tedious.
