Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Rose I certainly agree with ya there.. I know I'd never told a patient that while I was working unless I knew for sure that was what was going to happen. It would be pretty easy for them to find out as I only saw three people there, which was the receptionist, the nurse and the doctor.. dang, I must be a genuious..lol So if it wasn't the doctor, or the nurse which I know that it wasn't.. hmmm, I wonder who it could have been?.. Oh well as Connie said it gives more time for prayer and meditation so that things can move right a long.. I am gonna have both of them done at the same time, as instead of having two seperate healing times, I'll only have one.. He did tell me that the next day he wanted me buttoning buttons, zipping and unzipping, feeding myself and so on.. I know when I had my hysterectomy I begged them to get me up so I could walk, and if I started hurting really bad, I'd walk which helped with any gas or air problems I was having.. Like I said I was disappointed, not that I was gonna have this surgery but that relief was on its way... Hugs, -- Drizzling FlittersDate: Wed, 26 Jul 2006 19:55:29 -0500 (Central Daylight Time) 1.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 , I don't know about doing both at the same time. I'll try to be delicate here . . . . . I'm right-handed & had the right one done, and personal hygiene was probably not the best for a few days, just from using my left hand. The right one had gauze covered with stretchy brown stuff, then a splint. I don't think I could have used that hand without a great big glove on it. If you get my drift? Good luck whatever you decide. (You will definitely not want to ask Damien for assistance here!)

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 , After Rose spoke so will I. I now have a good idea what it was but when they went to repair my hands in 93 they found what was described as a "handful of BB's", can we say granulomas. This caused them to make a larger cut to clean the bb's out of my hands and straighten out the carpal tunnel. Like Rose, there was no way to use the injured hand for anything, they bundle it up to protect it, and trust me you need it. You look like someone put a softball in your hand then bandaged it, now imagine trying to go to the bathroom, bath, etc. with your hand bandaged this way and instructions now to let it get wet. My surgeon would not do both of my hands at one time and after the surgery I was very glad he took that stand. Ouchhhh! I just jumped off my soapbox. Take care, and remember we're in your corner...................Southern Hugs, Connie Rose wrote: , I don't know about doing both at the same time. I'll try to be delicate here . . . . .
