Going off for a few days.
 

I am having hand surgery Thursday Morning to release some nerves and I'm going to put my computer back in the shop. The last time it was in there it took them 3 weeks to get to it. Since I have already paid them for work they didn't do hopefully I will get it back sooner this time.

I am getting a block before this surgery so hopefully it won't wake up any RSD that I have calmed down. My right arm and hand has always been my worst. They are useless when it comes to me doing anything but the pain isn't as bad as it would be had it not been for blocks and therapy so I am hoping this block works.

Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I hope all of you do ok while I am gone.

Ada,

Good luck with the surgery. I had Duypens contracture (i know I didn't spell it correct) in my left hand. I had the block before surgery and never had a problem. follow what the doc says, and if he is like mine, he had me doing PT on day 5. I thought he was nuts, but I did it and everything was great. Hated wearing the hand/wrist brace for 5 months tho. if you can, try to let us know how it went and how you are feeling.

Hugs

good luck with your surgery...i had surgery on my ulnar nerve because my hand was painful and dystonic...it really helped

Hi everyone,
 

I got my computer back today. I hate being without it. I think I am an internet addict. LOL

I did have my surgery and so far so good. My Dr. did a bier block to help with the RSD.

I have stitches in the palm of my hand and taped up. When I came home, I went to bed and slept the rest of the day and all night and part of Friday. They gave me extra anestesia and I am thinking it did a job on me.

I have to go in today to have my VNS turned back on. We turned if off Wed. for the surgery.


Wakegirl, I had ulner nerve surgery about 3 years ago. This was the 5th surgery on my right arm and hand. I have been blessed with the surgeries doing what they needed to do and blessed with good Drs.

Thanks again for the good wishes.

Hi Ada,

Glad you got your pc back and hopefully running better, and that everything seems to be going as well as you hoped. Mine needs to go into the shop and so do I (hopefully soon for a morphine pump trial); maybe I can schedule both for the same time, but someone will need to move my chair to get the pc out, and no one here can do it.

For now, it's still working, and when/if it breaks and we have to move furniture, I'll "borrow" my wife's until mine gets back. Work comp hasn't made a decision about the pump trial yet, but they always delay everything as long as they can.

I sure hope that turning the VNS off and then back on makes it work better: Sometimes I have to turn my TV off and on a couple times before it works right, so its theoretically possible for the VNS. Not likely, of course, but I hope it does...Vic

ADA,

Good luck tomorrow, and try to get some sleep tonight. Take all the pampering you can get.

Hugs
Mary

Hi Vicc,
 

I just saw this and I wanted to say hi to you and say something about your computer. MSN will mess up a computer. It goes into the computer like a whole internet service of it's own, which it may be. I hope I can explain it right. It takes over the computer in other words. Someone here on the forum told me that and after she did I got to checking and sure enough it pops up crap all of the time. I tried to put my.space in favorite for the kids and it won't go to it. I have to type it in or they go in through their MSN setup. The only reason I have it on here is for the boys otherwise it would be gone.

Also if you have the Norton's virus setup on yours it will slow it down a lot. I took it out of mine and put in a different type and it is doing much better. They too have a bunch of junk in the trunk that a person doesn't need on the computer.

Those idiots that worked on mine put the Norton's virus protection in mine without asking and charged me 50. for the disc. I was mad. Now I have had to take it out. I had no virus' whatsoever in my computer when they got it due to the virus protecton I already had on mine.

They didn't do a cleanout on it and I told them to. They charged me 210 for nothing besides the 50 for the disc. Was I mad. I got it back the 2nd time and it was no better. I cleaned it out and took out the Norton's Virus crap and now it's much better. I would like to get that MSN out but the boys won't let me. They are the bosses at my house. LOL

I do hope that you get that pump. I think it will do you good. That's what I had wanted when I was going to U of Co. and they told me because of the CSS that it wouldn't work for me. Of course that idiot Dr. was wrong about that. He was what I called a Fibro man. It's all they want to take care of and yet they are called Pain Drs.

I know you will get that pump. Don't give up on WC just keep at them until you do. My Dr. laughed the other night at me when we were talking about how shy I use to be. He said he could tell by the way I go after my meds and the Gov. for things that I am certainly no wallflower anymore. LOL That's the way you have the be anymore to get the help you need. I know you, you are no wallflower either. LOL

Thanks for all the help you give me.

Ada
