I put this under Dog General cause it's related ....to, well, dogs...

I'm having another surgery on my wrist on Thursday, Aug 10. I'll be in the hospital for a few hours only, if all goes well. It's a prelude to reconstructive sugery in October. More ouchies. Yuk. :rolleyes:

[dukedogsmom]

I wish you good luck. friend! I'm horrible at keeping in touch, as you've noticed. I'll try to call you or you call me sometime, ok? I hope you can find an end to the pain and get your hand as normal as possible.

Karen, I e-mailed you earlier this morning to tell you that you will be in my thoughts all day today. Please try and check in after it is all over. I guess maybe John will have to do the typing though. You rest up and just dictate to him what you want to say. :)

If I were in your shoes, I'd be in big trouble, my husband never types and if he did try to do my talking on a keyboard, he couldn't keep up with me.

Good morning and good luck, today, Karen!!!!! I hope it won't be nearly as bad as you think it will be.

Love,
Logan

[Rachel]

Hi Sweetie, I hope you slept well last night. You are my hero. I have so much to learn from you in how to approach and make it through these types of ordeals. Of course you will be in my prayers. I will be thrilled to hear that another hurdle in your recovery is just a past memory. Onward... and don't make the doctor laugh too much. Remember he needs a steady hand. Love you.

[ramanth]

hi all... back to one handed, no uppercase typing again :rolleyes:

all 6 pins are out, not just the 2 planned. since i'm as healed as it's going to get right now, no sense in keeping them- good riddance. wrist/hand swollen and discolored but not like 1st time. only pain right now is where there's no bone-ulna on pinky side of hand. no definite future plans on more surgery. depends on my pain level. if constant, then he'll do reconstruction but my movement will be worse than now and permanent. if i do nothing, i'll have no support on that side of my wrist and have to be cautious forever. so it's a wait and see. thanks for your prayers..they worked. although it wasn't major surgery, i was still scared.

i was so brave, john bought me coldstone ice cream.. :D

thanks again for your prayers, thoughts, emails and phonecalls. big hugs to all.

[Dorothy39]

Karen,

You are very brave, just reading how this happened to you scares the snot out of me, let alone, the rest of the story!!!


I can't imagine going through anything like it!!!!


Which hand is it? I'm thinking that you were holding the pup with your right hand, fell on the left hand and wrist. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!

I willl no longer hate how my hands look, never again will I take them for granted either.


You are so brave, well, you had no choice but to be brave.

Hugs to You and your family. I hope you don't have to have more surgery either.

[anna_66]

Glad to hear everything went fine and they decided to take out all the pins. That's got to feel a little better.

I hope you don't have to have more surgery (which would mean not as bad pain and that's always good!).

I'm still hoping and praying that your hand heals as well as my moms. It took a long time but at least now she's able to use it even if it doesn't have much strength.

Lots of Love
Anna

[pitc9]

Many gentle hugs to you!
I'm certian that nurse Logan is taking the best possible care of you that she can! :D

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Take care sweetie

[ramanth]

I'm glad the surgery went well. *hugs*

[CagneyDog]

I'm happy that it went well! {{big hugs}}

[Logan]

Sorry I missed you this evening. I picked a horrible time to call, right at dinner time, but it was the only time that I was alone all day! :)

Hope your day has been good.

Love ya.
Logan
