the latest heat wave will be gone today...high of 88 forecast, after low of 60 this morning...cooler weather will be welcome...hot weather and recovery don't mix...
gonna have surgery tomorrow morning, on my left wrist and thumb...doc is gonna clean out some rough cartilage and remove the damaged basal joint...then use a tendon from my left arm as a tendon graft to fill the space left from the removed bone...
best case scenario will be a more functional and stronger wrist and thumb...I'm hoping for at minimum, a measure of pain relief ... the arthritis has been there since I first injured the wrist playing high school football in 1969, 54 years ago...that injury got me a medical deferment from the Viet Nam draft, so there is a positive here...
had surgery to fuse the wrist 25 years ago, but have continued to suffer pain and reduced flexibility, functionality and strength in my left wrist and hand...
