In which surgeons are magic.

[ghoti_mhic_uait]

On Monday I had cts surgery. It was a very busy day on the ward, so a lot of waiting around in different waiting rooms, but then the actual surgery took about 4 minutes. It was quickly apparent to me that the residual pain I was feeling was wound-related rather than lingering nerve pain. Today I was allowed to take the bandage off, and I took a longer walk than I've managed in months (unaided and everything!), including locking and unlocking our front door, played Rhino Hero with Andreas (a card stacking game), eaten a bowl of cereal with a spoon, cooked dinner for me and Andreas, and now I'm going to read an actual paper book. Those are all things I've not been able to do since December.

(Book is Burn Bright by Patricia Briggs, which I think was a preorder because I'd forgotten to expect it.)

I'm so glad that the operation worked as advertised.

Yay for a ghoti who is able to do more things!

Better than advertised - all the surgeon was prepared to commit to was 'to stop it getting worse'.
