cUts surgery tommorro

[rabidcoyote]

i finally get to have surgery for my cUts, although a bit too late according to the doctor whos performing it. he's even the WC doctor....lol but hey, at least we get to see if it will be of any help. he's doing ulnar transposition surgery so would like to here from anyone whos already had it nad what the recovery/healing time involves. i hope not to be crippled up for too long of a time.:(

three weeks gone by.....cast off in the first week, what a relief that was!!..have to wear a splint most of the time for the next three weeks (itches like crazy)...not as painful as i thought it would be. the therapist is surprised at how far i'm getting with the pt, told her i had a 7month old at home so need to get healed quickly...lol. anyways, jan. 4 is the next surgery date (both for cts and cUts) orthoscopic on the wrist and ulnar nerve submusculer transposition agian for the elbow. will keep posted how everything goes. Merry Christmas and Happy New YEars to everyone!!!!!!! :D

Don't try to rush things. It's great to make good progress, but sometimes, we overdo the necessary PT at home, and get hurt by it. But it's great that you are making good progress. Keep it up.

I guess I should say enjoy your holidays, since it appears that you are going to have more downtime just after they are over. So, enjoy them!! And best wishes on the outcome of your next surgery.

Happy Holidays!

Rabid- i wondered how you are doing post op?

If you still have some problems after the surgeries heal
- do some reading about thoracic outlet syndrome {TOS}
