WELL....I SURVIVED...

I got a plate and ELEVEN....yes...I said ELEVEN screws!!! Had the surgery on June 27th.....and it really wasn't as bad as I thought...The surgeon called the next day and asked me if I remember talking after surgery....I'm like...ummm...no...He said I asked to see the x-rays.....LOL...I remember nothing...The first thing I remember is someone sticking a pill in my mouth and giving me some water....lol. ....NOW here is the bad news....on July 18th I was pulling up my sock w/ my brace on....and got a sharp pain in the wrist....didn't last to long went about my business ...post office...food store....came home and discovered my left thumb was no longer working right ☺sooo the next day called surgeon...had an ultra sound MRI is out because of the hardware. I guess what happens sometimes when you break a wrist real bad is sometimes a tendon gets frayed...leave it to me....I will be asking the Hand surgeon he is a different than the wrist guy...what would be the consequences if I DON'T have the surgery..if is going to give me any issues a few years from now, because right now I just can't lift it when my hand is flat on the table and can't make a thumbs up sign👍 , and have some difficulty tying my shoes....anyway I will keep you posted...I see the hand surgeon tomorrow.

Weather has improved at least humidity wise.

Well that's what's up in my world..

WELL....I WILL NEVER...

take my left hand for granted again.....lol.. I guess you don't appreciate a limb until you lose the use of it.... me being right handed  I was thankful it was my left wrist that was broken. Never realizing WHAT your non-dominant hand actually does. Well I did survive surgery....I have hardware now...and turns out I only broke my radius... and it split the long way  hence the hardware, hurt like hell the first day or two after that its not to bad,at least my fingers are ALMOST normal sized now. I have a follow up on July 11 cannot wait to get this bandage OFF!!!
     We have also been having the heat wave from hell the last 4 days..OMG!! soo hot and humid..temps in the mid nineties and 
'feels' like temps into the triple digits...and I do not have ac....the only reason  I am out and about today is because Ma Nature was kind enough to give the heat wave a rest for a bit.

anyway what most shocks me is the lack of empathy from my so called friends....not all of them but my friend cj came over and did some dishes for me and some cooking. next door neighbor came over to see if I needed something, another friend picked me up and took me to her house and gave me a shower (I cannot reach the left side of my body....lol)

Anyway that's whats up in my world........


Later....
