If you don't hear from me again then it didn't go well. Won't be able to type for a while.

They have to cut open the palm of my hand again. This makes the third incision in my palms. Not been a happy camper lately, under stress.

My own stigmata I guess. The surgery will be two hours long with a tourniquet on my arm.

Such is life.

Good luck Rex.

Look on the bright side-whatever it is isn't life or death.

Good luck! You can always type one-handed while you heal, no?

Duck tape a Blackberry to your left arm and type with a pencil held in your right. Voila, no problem. You can type like David and nobodyll notice.

@RexRed,

Good luck with the op, RexRed. Some of us here, perhaps many of us, are peckers. One letter at a time punched in by one finger.

I rely on both thumbs.

Your kind and light-hearted advice has eased my tension allot, thanks, I will have one hand till the other one heals. I've got my laundry done, the bottles returned, I just have a few dishes to do and will be eating tv dinners for the week.

Got about six hours after the surgery ‘till my arm "wakes up" from the Novocain block.

Or they may just put me out this time… Last time under anesthesia I started blurting out my private life like truth serum and made my doctor blush… I had the nurses in more stitches than me after he sewed me up. Smile

@littlek,

Good luck, Rex. I hope it's the last time you have to go through this.

Littlek, if it were my right hand, I'd be out of luck. I'm not sure I could even feed myself left handed.
