This surgery is completely different than the one earlier this month. He is doing Carpel Tunnel surgery on my right hand which is a piece of cake. Technological advancements make the procedure less intrusive and allow for a shorter recovery time.
I hope to be out for a few days, we’ll see how it goes. I don’t like taking pain medication so that can delay blogging for a day or so.
Thank you for all the love shown to me during the last surgery, your words filled me with joy.
Take good care and I’ll see you next year.
Melinda

Best of luck with your surgery M. No blogging until recovered. Steady blogging is the number one cause of CTS. The second runner up is typing on a keyboard all day. That’s why I switched from blogging to napping. My hands are doing great but my legs are losing the battle for uprightedness. Thus and therefore, we will be spiritual surgery buddies starting Monday.

I’m still blogging and typing but only a little at a time. My right hand is still bandaged until Tuesday.

My right hand is the one that bothers me too. I’ve never tried voice typing. If it’s anything like autocorrect, I won’t bother to try. Too much extra work correcting all the incorrect corrections. 🙄

I tried the speaking writing programs before and gave up on them. I don’t know what I was think to have both hand surgery in the same month. I’m doing lots of napping too since when you can’t use your hands you can’t do much.

That’s the right approach. When your hands are still, you might as well take a nap. 😴

I’ve been sleeping a lot because if you can’t use your hands then why stare at the wall. :)

I totally agree. It’s better to stare at the inside of one’s eyelids and let the Head Elves stream videos.

Most of the time I don’t sleep, just rest. My head is writing post the whole time. My meditation skills need lots of work. It’s a goal this year, I’m at 3-5 minutes.

Just don’t do like I did and master meditation so well that I fall asleep for hours if I stop thinking.

Right now a good long nap with deep sleep sounds so good. I’ve been up 1.5 hrs and I’m headed back to the bed now! Last night was a rugh night for pain. Still not taking pain meds.

Your last surgery didn’t hold you back much. I hope this one goes well. One time I had three surgeries in six weeks. I was fine going into the first two but really dreaded number three. Try to stop with two.

That’s way to many unless it’s a major injury. This one shouldn’t be bad, the only issue is my left hand is still not ready, it may take another month to heal. But it won’t stop me.
