Today was one of the Florida wet Mondays. Overcast, cloudy, with random patches of sunlight.
I had a pre-op surgery appointment about my right hand, so I was up and out by 8 a.m.
Regarding my right hand--I'm having my carpal tunnel situation corrected. My left hand was done in October 2012, and the effects have been amazing. Before the surgery, my left hand was numb from my thumb to my middle finger, and my ring finger was slowly growing tingly-to-numb on the side closest to my middle finger.
I would often have to make "crazy talking puppet hand" to make feeling return. Imagine me quickly clapping the four fingers against the thumb in rapid succession a dozen times.
I've begun doing that for my right hand the last 2 months.
Thankfully, my orthopedic surgeon had a nerve test done on both hands last September, so I wouldn't have to do it all over again. He saw my left hand was very severe, while my right one, in September, was only mild to moderate. Now, the right one is moderate to hellaciously severe.
So, on Friday, Quill will be taking me to the surgery center in downtown O-town for my surgery. I'll be out of it for a couple days on painkillers, and the bad thing of it all--I won't be able to write or type. My right hand is my writing hand, so I'm out of the loop for a week or so with a sling.
Anyway, I got home around 10:30 from my appointment, and realized, I am not going to do anything with my day. I put in a load of laundry (dryable and foldable tomorrow) and laid down on the bed for the rest of the day.
What helped along with the slothness was a massive case of cramps.
It began thundering around 2:00, so my dog Ridley (the absolute love of my life, save for my husband), climbed on the bed, wedged her way up to boobs/neck area, and hid her head under my throw blanket. She has a BIT of thunder phobia. So we laid like that, and napped like that, for over 2 hours.
Now, I'm in the kitchen, prepping for Quill's and mine dinner. On the menu tonight: broiled mahi-mahi in a white wine sauce, steamed asparagus, baked potatoes, fresh watermelon, and rolls.
