I have a small bell that you can have to summon Mel when you need attention.
It's no use at my house.

Yeah Girard, that bell trick stopped working a LONG time ago. Thats why I was in Houston by myself.

Looking good wearing the colors Robby! As I recall, the last time I wore GasGas gear into a hospital it was cut off of me.

Anesthesia has come a ways in a few years. Now, you get an anti-nausea drug in the IV before you wake up. In the PA hospital after my stick extraction, I felt hung over for a day. Now you can stop for Mexican food on the way home.

Steve (Cruiser) has a powerball I tried, seems like it will work very well. I think I need to get one too as my right arm/hand is pretty sad from lifting no weight for weeks now.

There are diffrerent exercises to do with the Powerball. You can see the videos on one of the websites I sent you. You'll be up and riding in no time!

Girard she said that bell would wind up somewhere that the sun does not shine.

she has been really good to me helping me open things, etc. I have not had to go to the batroom yet. The bandages are coming off today so I will post more pictures of the wound.

Well yesterday I removed the bandages and to my surprise he did the old school release surgery on both hands. The left is a bit more swollen than the right and I have a bit more pain with it also.

I questioned him about it and he said because of the nerve damage he had seen he went ahead and did it old school. He said my recovery time is still the same. So that's good! i am able to type with both hands. I was able to go to the bathroom by MYSELF with no help thank you very much!

I did almost manage to lock myself in there because you loose your turning muscles. I do have to have the wife help me open up bottles of gatorade or other products.

I will post up pictures of the stutures here in a bit.

So far I am very happy with the surgery. I want to keep my hands in tip top shape but I do not want to screw up his great work so I am going to be patient.

Girard we love you guys also!

I have read they say it comes from what you do with your hands on a daily basis.

Hmmm, that surely means Girard is a candidate.

Get well Boomer. Ice-Ice Baby.

I don't think so. If you worked on an assembly line and used the same motions to install the same part all day then maybe, but as a tech your doing different things all the time.

Here are the stuture pics.

Enjoy your dinner!

Actually thats not much bigger than that second cut for the endoscope in the pics your wife sent. Still a surprise though!
