Things sure have been crazy this past weekend. The 105+ weather has only added to the drama..haha. I haven't updated for many reasons, the one finger typing being the main, but I got creative this morning as I am a two handed/two finger typer, I simply needed a lever on my right hand. So I came up with this, very simple solution.
My recovery has been quite easy. Very little pain, almost too suprisingly little! I was wired all Thursday, barely slept the first two nights until early Fri morning when it finally hit me and I slept like a baby. I felt so good on Sat, and was down to one pain killer, so we went for our weekly Perdo's lunch and then Mom, Mom, and myself went and did a little shopping. My mom wasn't feeling to hot so we came home to nap. She did but my wonderful husband decided to fight the heat and do some planting so I went and hung outside with him. When we came back inside mom was worse. So bad in fact I called the nurse hotline who spoke with her and advised her to go to emergency immidiately. Yup, we ended up spending the night in emergengy with poor mom. She has been hospitalized back home twice in the past two years for this "unknown" reason. They always sent her home with no explanation for the extreme abdominal pain she has been experiencng. Sat night it took 5 shots of morphine to calm the pain. It was so hard to see her in that state. But after a CAT scan they discovered it was Pancreatitis. It was so nice that she finally had an answer and something to go home with and have more tests run.
As for myself, my knee ballooned up on Sun and my shin started throbbing. I can honestly say that my leg was hurting more than the surgery, so I went to the docs yesterday, which was a huge waste of time, but I am feeling better today. Just tired. My mom is also doing better and has decided to stay the duration of her planned trip.
Sorry for the unamusing post, just don't have it in me yet.
Hope all is well wth everyone!

Geez, it has been a little crazy...and painful...at your house. See, if I had come down none of this would have happened. LOL
I hope your Mum is doing better and so are you. I know you were basing what your pain would be like from your other wrist but I am glad it isn't so bad.

You poor things, I'm so sorry you and your mom are both feeling miserable, and then to have to suffer with the heat on top of it! Blech!
