seven days since my carpel tunnel surgery and the hardest

[prole_for_peace]

thing has been getting the damn ice cream container open. taking a shower isn't too easy either

and my pain meds make me sleepy and sweat like a pig.

1. Wish you the same fine results as my wife had twenty years ago with this

surgery.

[purr]

2. Using grocery bags on your arms works wonders..

tape it with medical tape around the bag opening onto your arm and make sure theres no little holes hiding in the corners.

Made my showering much easier and I was able to use both hands... well, as best as I could with the splint on.

3. i am using the 4 gal trash bags

i can't use the fingers on my right hand so i basically shower using left and a scrubby on a stick. now, because it is taking up the slack, the symptoms in my left are getting worse.

[purr]

4. You must have a bigger cast than I did..

mine was only partially up my forearm. 4 years later and my scar is still as visible as when I had it done.

By the time its ready to come off, it'll smell like a nasty lockeroom :puke: . I wanted to change it but decided not to because he'd know that I took it off and would yap at me about it.

I wish you luck with it. Mine came back within 3 months which really pissed me off. Its even worse than it was before.
