I had C-T surgery about 5 o'clock Monday afternoon, and the "numb" is wearing off. I don't know whether to take a lortab or just a strong dose of Evan Williams. The Doc said his patients usually don't have much pain, but I might because the nerve was so inflamed. Not too bad now, but some mild discomfort.

I fooled around and waited too long. The nerve conduction test showed that the damage is "severe" in both hands. The Doc and the therapist who did the test seem to think I'll eventually get most of the feeling back in both hands. I had the left hand done today, and will get the right one done in about six weeks.

I had spinal fusion at L-5/S-1 in March '06, shoulder joint replacement in Oct. '07, and now this. Getting old ain't for sissies.
