I'm home!

I'm home, arm in sling and it's painful! Had to wait over 3 hours for actual surgery but at least it's over now! Short post as I'm typing with left hand only.

Carol,
Thanks for the post. I hope tehy gave you pain killers to sleep you throught the night. Looking at the bright side of things : you only have two hands, they cannot operate any more...
Bon courage

So glad all went well. I'm a firm believer in Vicodin and Ambien during surgery-type situations. Sleep well.

Glad the operation is over for you Carol. I hope you'll be on the mend soon, and that the pain can be kept under control.

Carol, dear, It's good to hear you're home and at least able to write a little note on your blog. I truly know the pain you are having. Just prop those hands up and relax for a while, so you'll be rarin' to go when you're well. I'm thinking of you and remembering you in my night prayers, too. Hugs, Deb
