I've been laying low for a while, as I had my carpal tunnel and trigger finger release surgeries last week. It's been a week and I'm still pretty limited on my right hand use. The surgery itself wasn't bad; I had a nerve block on my arm, which is a big, bad tourniquet on my shoulder, they sqeeze all the blood from your arm, and then they numb the arm with a local anesthetic. I chose to forego the anesthesia to knock me out, which all of the nurses were quite impressed with me. It was very weird feeling things, but not quite feeling things. Slowly it's getting less swollen and more mobile, but the stitches will be in until the 5th. I'm also proud that my blood sugar was 143 pre-surgery and was 139 post-surgery. Usually it freaks out if my body is freaking out, but it stayed put! Speaking of body parts, remember in biology class the critters and bits and pieces that were in glass jars filled with formaldehyde? I attempted to pickle my pepperoncini..
