(no subject)
Good news is, the heat has broken and I am a happy camper. The bad news is, it has (so far) been unlike my favorite month (September) which is usually sunny and warm but with a little autumn "edge" to it that pleases me. Instead, all the rain we did NOT get this summer is messing up my favorite month. Oh well, it'll either get better or....there is always next year.
I had carpal tunnel surgery yesterday, and am trying to perfect left hand/one finger rt hand typing. I had heard all the horror stories about this surgery, and didn't want to worry anyone, so I decided not to tell almost anyone until it was all over and I was fine. I am fine. I will type the whole story (maybe, this is pretty tiring, if I don't get it done today it may have to wait until next week) but suffice to say that I went into this assuming that A) It was going to be a "piece of cake" and B) I was going to be fine and C) Although I conceded to all the worried loved ones who know how I AM :rolleyes: and stayed with my dad last night, I was going to be JUST FINE to go home today.
I don't know if it is an accolade to "power of positive thinking" and the goodness of God or not, but......
A) It HAS (so far) been a "piece of cake"
B) I AM fine.... and...
C) I'm home.
I do have to say that not being able to use my right hand is a HUGE pain in the neck and likely to remain so for a week or so. It sucks, it stinks, I hate it and that is all the negativity you are going to get out of me. I am moving forward, I am getting better, I am doing fine.
Oh, and my OR nurse Ruby called this AM to see how I was doing and said I was her favorite patient EVER! Which I will explain when I actually write about this, but she called this AM expecting me to be an unholy mess today since I was doing so unfathomably well yesterday and better than she could believe...she figured it just hadn't hit me yet and that I would be a quivering mass of agony this morning. Heh....fooled HER, now, didn't I?:rainbow: She just didn't know that I come from a long LONG line of "tough old birds"....and I had a family REP to protect!
But right now, it is time for a nap.
Be well, be happy!
My Love,
Cheri
