Whining helps, my surgery date is moved up


Doing the happy dance.

I got a call that the person scheduled for the 24th canceled so they put me in that slot. Gee, and after all that whining I did earlier, I almost feel bad. So then I was so excited I called my son to tell him the good news. Then I laughed and said, I can't believe I am excited they are going to carve my face up, now why is that good news? LOL. He laughed also but it will just be so good to move on. So surgery next week, then I can concentrate on getting my wrist stronger to go back to work.

Physical therapy went well today. My wrist is so wimpy. I do these exercises with a 2 pound weight and my hand actually starts to shake. After not being able to use it for so long the muscles are just almost nonexistent but it is getting better. I was using a 1 pound weight. Before you know it I will be back to full strength.

I am glad for you that they moved the date up. I don't see how you can lift that much weight now. Looks like that would do more harm than good but I suppose they know what they are doing. The time will be up before you know it on your surgery. Helen

Oh that's good Julie. Better to get it over with and have it behind you. I had carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists but my right one was done in 1985 and it's still not strong as it was prior to surgery. I can barely lift a full gallon of milk out of the fridge. Of course it doesn't help that I'm loosing muscle mass as I age. I should find that gripper thing and start using it when I'm sitting watching TV. You're probably getting better PT than I did 24 years ago. Linda in sunny Washington

Yay about moving the date up. I bet you can't wait until it's all over with.

Take your time getting stronger. I can't believe you miss work! I know it's easier said than done...but enjoy the time off. There will alwaysssss be plenty of work waiting.
