Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / December 2004surgical reminder as requested
Hi again, Some asked to be reminded of when I am having my elbow surgery. Tomorrow is the day at 7:30 am. Like those early ones, hate sitting around a hospital all day. Should be home by noon. Everything pre-op looked good 'cept an elevated white count. Was asked a bunch of questions regarding that and what might cause it. Only thing I have is some post nasal drip, otherwise no other apparent reason. We'll see what the surgical antibiotics do for that. May be the next thing on the list to investigate. Trying to get a bunch of things done around the house that require two hands to do. Keeping Mike home from school on Mon. to help me out, after that I'm on my own during the day. Percosets should keep me entertained, mostly behind my eyelids I hope. Am planning on sleeping alot. Hope you all have a pain-free day, GaryZ (((((gary))))) Love and prayers, Vickie B. gary, hoping you have a really good one. I know this must be interfering with your swing. With a little luck the procedure will add 30 yards to your drive. >g< Let us know how it goes. johnie > Hi again, > Some asked to be reminded of when I am having my elbow surgery.

Jo Rose, I found it amazing how well I could use my left hand when I had my right shoulder surgery several years ago. I could eat with it, bathe, just about everything except fasten my bra. Fortunately I still had Grayson to do that then. Now when I try to use my left hand to do some of the same things, it won't work. I think that God just gives extra talents to us when we need them.

When I had my carpal tunnel surgery on my hands, I mastered it with both the left and the right hands. To me it was like learning magic tricks.

It's a talent that would really prove useful for someone like you. Dear misanthrope, Here's the thing-I think everything happens for a reason and you are probably being put here right now to see just how much resolute humor we can manage to send you rather than anger. This is your second atttack on Gwen so i imagine you picked out the one of the oldest members of the group thinking you could intimidate her. You don't know Gwen very well-She isn't even slightly intimidated, she just thinks the concept is funny and that you are rather sad. Personally, I will put you on my prayer list and thank God for giving me so many opportunities this season. Melinda Can't remember if I answer this one yet or not. I am also praying for these people too. Gwen is a really sweet and caring person and doesn't need this kind of behavior going on. Gwen I want you to know that I care about you and nothing anyone says will change my opinion of you at all. TLC and hugs coming your way.

It must have gone well for you to get in and out that quickly. Glad to read you in such good spirits. welcome to the caps challenged crowd. we tend to be a jovial bunch. johnie >>You should be home safe and medicated by now. Prayers >>that all went smoothly. [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > will keep in touch whenever my vision isn't double from the pain meds! lol > gary z (who is caps challenged right now) Sounds good so far. Thanks for letting us know. It sounds like Mike will get some practice in the kitchen over the next couple of weeks. Good for both of you. Kelly C.;O) That's all good but how far can you drive a golf ball now? Cooly >> You should be home safe and medicated by now. Prayers >> that all went smoothly.

Bet that will be gorgeous shades of yellow, black and blue for awhile. Wow, on Mike's dinner prep. I don't cook and that sounds complicated. Thank goodness John likes to cook or there would be a his and her jar of peanut butter... Heal and be careful with those meds. After my knee I put John in charge of them cause I couldn't remember whether I had taken them or not. They were in a punch out cardboard thing and John took to writing the date and time next to the last empty slot. That way he could prove to me when the last one entered my body. lol Duckie >>You should be home safe and medicated by now. Prayers >>that all went smoothly.

Wow, on Mike's [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > prove to me when the last one entered my body. lol > Duckie actually it was a pretty easy meal. the roast was premarinated when bought so it just pops in the oven along with the potato. poke it with a meat thermometer after an hour and then periodically until it is done. viola! my arm is loud and clear when it's time for another pain pill!! every 4 hours, almost to the minute. lol Only problem i have with the meds is they make itch alot. hospital follow-up call insisted i let the surgeon know about it. i'm waiting on a return call now. i don't think it's a big, big deal but she was insistent.actually, second problem from the meds is need of a stool softener of sorts. no prunes!!! lol will ask about that too when i hear from them. garyz hey gary, sent you an ecard but somehow didnt get the thing decifered. is it at netlink.net? email me an address- m hi melinda, earthlink.net to dadandone@ you may hit the spam blocker. i will check it today. it is on my list of things to do. painting the livingroom and laying new carpet has been pushed back a couple of days! geez, i'll do anything to get out of some work. lol garyz > hey gary, sent you an ecard but somehow didnt get the thing decifered. is it > at netlink.net? > > email me an address- > > m Gary, I use a stool softener from Walmart. That's what it is called, pretty little tablets! Gwen > > Ouch to the armpit. Bet that will be gorgeous shades of > > yellow, black and blue for awhile.
