Typing one-handed is usually more fun than this
It is pretty difficult to type with my left hand, so I will be brief and use some of my pre-written blogs for the next few days.
As far as the surgery goes, my doctor likes to take his time - not a bad thing I suppose. So, we were late getting started. My doctor came in to mark the ganglion cyst and initial it. So on my arm he writes his initials - no joke - SAW. He grinned when I made a comment about it.
On the bright side of having to wait, I got to watch DS9 while I waited. Tall, black and VERY handsome was my anesthesiologist, so that was good. He said he was trekkie, too. You gotta like a handsome doctor who comes in asking "who wants 2 for 1 margaritas?" Of course, they were syringes filled with good shit. I was out in a couple of minutes. Next thing I remember was trying to get the oxygen mask off and asking "Could I have my asshole?"
The nurse said she figured I meant my significant other and not my body part. She got him after a little while and she regaled him with the asshole story. I have a black eye, but we're not sure how it happened. Sometime during surgery. They said they taped my eyes shut. *shrug*
I slept much of the evening, but got to watch three hours of CSI before bed. Woohoo.

AoM,
Typing with one hand is no fun at all, (shoulder surgery, one armed for 4 weeks). I'm glad you are feeling better. Take care, and don't do too much and wear yourself down!!!

Thanks guys. I'm a trooper, but I'm trying to take it easy with my arm. Taking my No. 2 child to Six Flags while AoD refs games. Won't be using my arm and we'll be on the kiddie rides and trick or treating, so I'll be good.
