Surgery

I had carpal tunnel surgery today on my right hand. The numbness is now pretty well gone at 7:30 in the evening but the pain isn't too bad. I got to the doctor's office at 11:00 and left at 11:45. I went to Walgreens and left the prescriptions for pain pills and antibiotics then went to Panera and got lunch. After I ate, I picked up my meds and was back at work by 1:00. Was very hard to type at work because of the numbness but work wasn't busy so did alright. The worst part was the shot that the doctor put in to numb the hand. That was the most pain I have had in a very long time. Glad my left hand doesn't have Carpal Tunnel! I really like Dr. Melhorn and his staff. I go back in two weeks to have the stitches removed and do therapy. I think I have three sessions of therapy. It will be great to not wake up in the night with a numb hand!
