The surgery went great; he did it thru the scope thingy so there's only two stitches instead of that ginormous incision pictured in my previous post. Now I've got this cushy wrap on my hand (which stays on for three days, then I switch to bandaids). Doc Rodgers sez I can play and paint again as soon as I want to and feel like it.
The nurses out there were just the best. The one in post-op was helping me with something and I asked her when I could play the piano again. "Could you play it before the surgery?" was her reply... she was serious! Apparently that's a common joke for some post-ops. "Yes, I could," I chuckled.
Doc Rodgers even had satellite radio in the OR, so I got to pick what I wanted to listen to.
A million thanks for all your prayers... and a huge I-owe-you-bigtime to Mary (Tim's wife) for driving me there and back. I can't guarantee a new painting tomorrow, but who knows? I might get ambitious. Heck, if I can blog one-handed, surely I can paint...
