That's a lot of catching up to do! Good luck to your S.O. Terrible thing to not be able to use a hand. So many things you can't do easily that you'd never think until you can't do it.So, as I sit here in the hospital waiting for my S.O. to come back from his FOURTH surgery in 9 months, I figure I might as well do some splaining about my long absence before my nursing duties resume (I'm not a nurse, but could almost be qualified before all this is over, lol). Anyway, he had Carpal Tunnel surgery in January, which healed nicely, but the Dr said it was the worst she's ever seen. Then in June his whole hand became swollen huge and the Dr had to go back in for surgery #2, from which his wrist had never healed. Then another surgery to try to close it in July. Still an open wound all this time. So now the Dr is using a type of graft to try to close it. Dr. just came and told me he'll be out soon & everything went well, just have to wait and see if it will heal this time.
P.S. For those considering Carpal Tunnel surgery, this is a Very Rare thing!
Hopefully I'll be back on later if I can get him settled at home.
We all wear glasses here. My older son has astigmatism too. He was in 3rd grade when he got his glasses and was so amazed when he first tried them on because suddenly the trees had leaves! Before that, trees looked like green blobs to him, poor guy.
That eye doctor is lucky he's still standing!
Maybe the doctor can't see good enough to tell! hahaha!
Oh, Granny, there are no words to express how very sorry I am to hear that --
Yikes, that's a whole lot going on - I really hope this is the last surgery and he has a full recovery!So, as I sit here in the hospital waiting for my S.O. to come back from his FOURTH surgery in 9 months, I figure I might as well do some splaining about my long absence before my nursing duties resume (I'm not a nurse, but could almost be qualified before all this is over, lol).
