Honestly, can't feel any pain during and it's under local anaesthetic and your chatting away with the nurses. Doesn't take long and after 10 days stitches come out.<br />Tho took my own out at 7 days with my second hand op, so I could drive to hospital where my daughter was for an emergency op! Hand had healed enough for me to do it. liniecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643986273499722414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481577725397935350.post-20918853066908059052016-10-24T11:04:21.091-04:002016-10-24T11:04:21.091-04:00Will keep your hands in prayer, I hope Sharon'...Will keep your hands in prayer, I hope Sharon's comment help up lift you a little. But the good news outweighs the bad. I like the color choice for the circle quilt too. I will keep Becky and her daughter in in my prayers.

I wanted to postpone the surgery until my assistant could get a few priorities checked off her list. My surgeon urged me to have it taken care of ASAP before permanent damage was done. The procedure took 15 minutes as an out-patient. Kept it elevated and iced for about a week, then stitches were removed and I was back to work. Miraculously, I didn't need the second hand done, it was obviously overcompensating for the other. It's been over 10 years since surgery and all is good. Surgeon made the incision in the palm of my hand in an already existihng crease/wrinkle and the scar is not even noticeable. Don't delay making an appointment, it's truly not a big deal. You'll be back to piecing and quilting in a week or 2.<br />Best wishes, SharonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13968811474674090727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481577725397935350.post-76957659112979295252016-10-24T09:18:56.110-04:002016-10-24T09:18:56.110-04:00Good morning Debbie, and congrats on the impending...Good morning Debbie, and congrats on the impending graduation from PT. I do believe the carpal tunnel surgery is done as an outpatient, or at least it was for a close friend of ours. He's had both hands done and did very well with it, so will keep you, and now your friend's daughter on my prayer list.Sylvia Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04564920688009926505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481577725397935350.post-41533587449701086412016-10-24T07:49:50.832-04:002016-10-24T07:49:50.832-04:00Wow, you are progressing beautifully.

Hopefully the hand surgery will eventually give you good news. I'm so glad that you can think of others and help with the mastectomy pillows.

My MIL had carpal tunnel surgery on one wrist many years ago. When they told her the other one needed it earlier this year she was not thrilled, but it has come a long way since she had the first and recovery was so much easier than before!<br />I like your border choices. Very pretty.<br />That is a gorgeous begonia, and I do have ever seen such a large Mum!!<br />Will definitely join in the prayers for Becky's daughter!Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481577725397935350.post-20844324337035296312016-10-23T16:27:36.735-04:002016-10-23T16:27:36.735-04:00Yipee for the good news, and sorry for the bad.

My cousin had one of those tests, and just had a double mastectomy done a few weeks ago. She's already had breast cancer once, and doesn't want to risk it again, with the worse strain.Cheryl's Teapots2Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005480747596617459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481577725397935350.post-72284640381305632482016-10-23T15:58:18.717-04:002016-10-23T15:58:18.717-04:00Rejoicing for the good news & pleased that the...Rejoicing for the good news & pleased that the bad news can be corrected with some surgery.
