  • FINALLY!!!

    Anyone remember back in December? 


     I let folks know I was SUPPOSED TO HAVE SURGERY on my left elbow to release a pinched nerve - a.k.a. Carpal Tunnel of the elbow.

    WELL, it's FINALLY been done!

    Arrived @ hospital @ 11:30a.m. for noon check-in on Friday, 29 April. They didn't even BEGIN the procedure until after 2p.m. Was released from hospital @ 4:30p.m. and sent home.

    Didn't get home until @ 7:30p.m. due to rush-hour traffic in Portland (surgery was performed @ hospital up there).

    Have to keep surgical bandage on the elbow for 72 hours. Also have to keep left arm elevated above heart level for 38-72 hours (so I'm typing one-handed for now).

    Elbow is sore, hand hurts, and I HATE the pain meds the hospital prescribed. FREAKIN VICODIN!!! Stuff makes me nauseous even taking HALF a dose WITH food. 

    Sorry this turned into a rant, but they've been postponing it until my thyroid level came down (with medication) and I've been suffering with a partially paralyzed hand since before the initial diagnosis as blogged in December.
