[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 92359"] Well, I didn't hit the doctor. He decided to put me out instead of a block. (guess he didn't want to risk it). They did have down allergy to two drugs I never heard of. They said I had a reaction to something they gave me last time. Anesthesiologist was a jerk. I was worried about getting sick, since that had happened when I was put out before. I know they can give you something to help with that. And I was all alone. This doctor. says "Well, if I could tell the future I wouldn't be here talking to you now would I...I would be in Vegas" I was sick, doctor went out to the waiting room, easy child did come, and he told him surgery went well, I really needed it..and I wasn't feeling to well so he couldn't see me yet. I was home by noon, and so ticked off. They called in the pain medication to the pharmacy there. When I went to pick it up I was told that Workman's Comp. denied the prescription because they say it has nothing to do with the injury. WHAT..I just came out of surgery and "it has nothing to do with the injury?" If I wasn't IN pain I wouldn't of needed the surgery to begin with. I paid for it myself. The numbness wore off by evening and my hand was so swollen I couldn't bend my fingers. Skin was shiney it was stretched so much. Didn't sleep well, on and off. But I did really well. Only took ONE pain pill since I came home. I do have an excuse now to go to a hair place to have my hair washed and dried. I cannot get my arm wet for ten days. So..guess it will be a sponge bath and hair salon. I have long hair and cannot even reach my head with my left arm. Thank you for all the good thoughts and wishes. Going back to work Thursday night/Friday morning. doctor doesn't want me to, and I don't have a release. But I didn't tell anyone there I was having surgery. I can't afford the time off. easy child will drive me at midnight, and pick me up at noon. I have a stick shift, and don't know if I can drive with one hand. If they ask for a release, I will have to leave. I had off Tuesday and Wednesday. I don't lift anything. Lucky if I lift a pen. Just will have to type with one hand. [/QUOTE]
