Still Chewing

In case there is a faint chance that some of you have been wondering where I've been, I offer the following explanation.
My carpal tunnel problems have degenerated to the point where it is even painfull to type on the keyboard, so I have definitely not been down the shed.
All will be fixed on the 19th January when they are finally going to operate on both hands.
Kind regards to all.
Termite

Termite,

My sympathy. I had my left hand done about 6 mths ago. Very painful for a few weeks after, but nothing like b4 the surgery. Had practically no feeling in the lower 3 fingers b4, but that was fixed immediately. Good now, well worth the trouble. wish yer well son.

By the way, if ure having both hands done at once, and dressings for a while afterward, how will you...er...well....you know ????

Eddie.

Termite who? :D

Nah seriously, my old man was really bad, tried to get both hands done at once but they wouldn't, so he had one done. It took him longer to get over than he thought, but amazingly the other hand is not really bothering him. Apparently this sympathetic reaction isn't uncommon with carpal tunnel.

Tell Mrs termy she will need to look after you extra special for a few months after 19th JAn.

Good luck, and get back chewing as quick as may be.

That must suck.
Glad to hear that there's light at the end of the tunnel, and look forward to seeing your posts when the hands are fixed.

Best of luck with it.

Hope you get those tunnels fixed mate ;)

Keyhole surgery, small incision, waterproof dressing, out of action one day, should be back in the shed in 3 weeks according to the specialist.
Was hoping for a few weeks of "Here woman, hold this" ;):D:D

Good luck with it Termy. Glad to hear that you haven't bailed out on us.

I guess not much baking has been happening either eh?

"Keyhole surgery" HAHAHAHA! Yup, told me that too! All I can say is that keyhole musta come from the Tower of London! 3 inch scar & bluddy sore!

And the surgeon was a Kiwi! My own fault really!

Thats what they told me but it was 10 weeks and about 4 weeks of ultrasound to losen up a nerve caught in the scar tissue. Carpal is a shocker. Im starting to get it in the left hand now and dreading the outcome.

All the best with the surgery in the new year, hope it all goes well and a speedy recovery

actually I was wondering where you had gotten to when i saw Darryl's b'day come up a few weeks ago.

Goodluck mate

Gday Termi, hope it goes well, mate :)


Cheers...............Sean

All the best for the op, mate. Hope you're back in the shed soon.
