ok well they said i could write post surgery so here I am trying, this feels so weird! i just thought i'd ... yeah i am typing one handed now. this is much easier. lol! so, surgery went well. i am mostly doing just fine with bouts of frustration grumpiness and self pity. i,m also very tired. i kind of cant belueve im in the thick of all this. I feel bad like maybe i could have done more to prevent this? but anyway we're in the aftermath now so no need to go there i guess. i got really tired of just sitting around today so homer took a small walk with me to go get the mail which was nice.
i think i'll stop for now and just say that surgery went well, the pain is less than i expected, but sharp and not fun when it happens!, and the splint is just about, if not more, of a pain in the ass than i was expecting. ok back to resting! bye for now!

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!
