Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

[darrsi]

Physio programme? Oh yes, I remember......
So had the op today, the surgeon had a fantastic sense of humour, which relaxed me a bit. I'd worked out that I had never had an injury or medical treatment to the right hand side of my body and also I had never had anything done under a local as well.
The surgeon, he left the best bit until last. Popped into the recovery room to give me instructions on how to manage the post op recovery and stated in front of my wife "your not to pick up anything heavy or fragile as you may drop it, so no washing dishes and hoovering, that's a no no as well because of the vibrations from the electric motor. But working on the bike - that's okay as it will encourage the dexterity".
I haven't stopped laughing (unless she's looking at me) ROFL

That's good to hear it all went okay, but also shows the impact of how a simple bit of mild banter can put you in a better place, as you've left the hospital with a smile on your face, plus you've got a free pass for certain jobs that could genuinely harm or delay your recovery unintentionally. Sometimes it's just better to be told the obvious stuff in case you're not quite thinking clearly on the day, for whatever reason.
Fair play to that surgeon, he sounds like a decent bloke.
