I have my first carpal tunnel surgery tomorrow. First up - right hand. It's the more damaged one. Good luck, right hand! (I'm so glad I'm left handed. Not that the left hand gets out of this either - just gotta wait about 6 or so weeks for that one...)

I'm trying not to be nervous, but OMG IT'S SURGERY!! ON MY HAND!!!!!!

Sure, it'd be scarier if it were my brain or my heart. But fuck... my hand! I need that! Deep down, I really do feel that it'll go great, and my hand will be better off than it even is right now. I'm just a little freaked out. Because, that's just how it is!

Deeeeeeeeep breaths are the name of the game today. And watching Lizzo's inspirational talks before concerts and getting all teary-eyed. hehe!

Joe ordered food on Amazon Prime yesterday so we got a bunch. I'm going to go get even more today so I just don't have to think about it for like a week or so. Joe got mostly snacks. Popcorn does not a dinner make. So I'm going to get meal stuff today.

I did the dishes already. I'm going to put fresh sheets on the bed today. And I'm going to sit on the couch and watch a LOT of TV over the next 48 hours while I recuperate!

I'll see y'all sometime next week once I feel comfortable typing again. Have a wonderful week, everyone!

Not hard for me. I was just so ---king glad to have the surgery over. My kids were old enough to do some things for themselves. I had a lot of downtime to chill with TV, and then we were all off the 2nd week of recovery regardless for spring break, so worry about job time loss was minimal.
Other than having one really ugly "acid trip"-type dream due to oxycontin, (which I never took again), It was ALMOST a vay-cay from work!
