Thanks people I'm still alive but ain't kicking yet

They had to move a nerve and repair and clean where a tendon is attached. He also injected steroids into another tendon thats giving me problems. He did two procedures and two incisions and said that was pushing it and he couldn't/wouldn't try to repair the one he injected during this surgery. Hopefully the injection and fixing the other stuff will do the job. I have a 8-10" incision on the bottom of the elbow and a 3-4" one in the middle and am in a hard splint and sling till the 29th then we'll see how things are. Doesn't feel good right now and I can't sleep so here I am

Didn't they give you anything for the pain and relaxation/sleep?
Would have hoped you would have gotten something for it, if not there is always medicinal...well just a natural organic healing plant that would help with the pain and help with the sleeplessness, all that aside,
Hope you get well soon Jerry.

Pain in the butt tryin' to type with one hand, isn't it? Drove me nuts until I got movement back into my left hand after the stroke! At least you should only be typing with one hand and be leavin' the other to rest!

Welcome Back Jerry...

Did they give you any pain killers, I have a lot of back & leg problems and If anyone watches House on TV, I eat Hydrocodones about like he does.

With luck yours should only last a few days after your surgery.

Keep us posted...

Glad you're on the mend!

Jerry,
I just happened on to this thread.
Glad your doing better !
You were the first guy I met Saturday, when I joined up. You & Dawn were very helpful, as others have been since.

I had a little trouble with my left elbow years ago. It didn't effect my actions though, since I do all of my typing with my right index finger, and drink beer righthanded.

Be careful with that elbow for awhile,
Bearcarver

 

[rivet]

Good deal, glad you're doing okay!

 

[gnubee]

Of course the Dude is already back His personal trainer has been sneaking him steriods for years.

Geeze Jerry some friends ya got, your out of action for only a day and already their planning on smoking your body parts.

The damaged ones at that!

Hint: Better get well soon cause hunting season is drawing near.

I have this mental picture of you trying to bow hunt with one arm.

 

[richoso1]

Dawn, thank you for the update. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery for Jerry.
