just call me lefty
0830 done and casted
Originally uploaded by Lady Birchwood. Yesterday morning i had an arthroplasty of my right thumb where it articulates with the wrist. this procedure was done to relieve the pain of chronic osteoarthritis in that important joint of my dominant hand. a major component of this procedure was harvesting tendon from my forearm to transplant into the joint space where there is no longer any cushioning cartilage. i've got three incisions under that cast, none of which i'll see for 10 days until my first post-op visit.
i hate typing with only one hand. the english language perfectionist in me abhors not using appropriate capitalization but it is just easier without right now. i'd rather use all lower case letters than uppercase so that people don't think that i'm shouting at them!
