Grandpa Troll's Surgery

[Grandpa Troll]

Thanks

While I owe many apologies here for being over the line at times, i am sorry if i had offended any here.

I had given Ming a hard time and shouldnt have.

I re,member parts and look to move past my wrongs.

As for the surgery, I had a bone graft and 11-12 screws plus a titanium plate, they also remove a small amount of cartilage that was left from previous surgery.

I gam in a splint for now as hand is swollen pretty good, and tuesday will get a cast to protect the area.

I have missed my family here and as a family, often things are said or done, that take aim and are hurtful when done but need to be addressed.

ifin ya will help me return to the nicer,friendlier troll than i will work on being a constructiv e member of society.

anyhoo, glad to be back and will work off my debt to society with community services!

be well and thanks for kind thougfhts and prayers

One rat bastard insulting another rat bastard, where's the harm? Does that violate the code of bastardhood?

Stay upbeat,

Glad things went well Bruce I hope the pain stays well away in the future!

Everythings slowly (onb schedule) progressing!

6 days after surgery, replace my second splint, installed first hard cast.

SContinued cutback on pain meds

(post surgery was on on Demerol and a catheter for pain, dont remember what i was getting)

2.5 days after, started 7.5 / 500 Vicodin 2 every 4 hours plus 800 mgs ibuprofren

6 days later i am trying 1-2 vicoden 7.5 / 500 every 6 hours plus ibuprofen

plus today i started EBI BONE HEALING SYTEMS, MODEL 2001 I use 10 out of 24 hours everyday.

This helps my dones regenersate properly, where i got my bone graft and screws and plate attached.

They tell me at Surgeons office if i were to fall or accidently bend wrist by accident (by force) it would rip them out, (ouchie!!)

it is still swollen, knuckles are about twice the normal size and left hand fingers and thumbs all bruised, but turning yellow now, along with black and blue knuckle joints. its moving l;ots better, painful, but not intolerable

Anyhoo, next tuesday, sutures get rempved, new cast for additional 2-3 weeks.

im in pain but can tell improvement each day, more finger movements

thanks all, moving along each day, now to continue mental chal;lenge of getting memry back and functyniung

No sir Snoopy, originally, it was suggested my hand would be in one position, but latter discussions showed my hand "raised" somewhat, still not using, doing the one finger hunt 'n peck


But once hand heals to maximum potential, will reevaluate.

May be a good investment, I will try normal first, then go with it as a possibiulity

Thanks for asking though
