I am still passing for a blonde....but not long at this rate.

I am having a tendon transfer...it involves using a 'useless' tendon from the arm as a piece of cartilage, for a bone they are removing from the base of the thumb...some chiseling here and there and a pin, maybe a carpal tunnel release, not sure yet.... 4 weeks of cast, 4 weeks of splint......tada...new hand....so they say. Oh, I hear it is quite painful for a week...ya think??

I am endeavoring to prep for this by eating all kinds of exotic ice cream....and sitting.
