Good News / Bad news ! ! !
« on: August 30, 2013, 04:30:24 pm »
Results are in....

Good News, no surgery on left knee for the time being...seems I aggravated a rather large deposit of Arthritis in the knee & Dr. wants to try letting it settle down by me taking Celebrex regularly for a couple months.

Bad News, Carpal Tunnel in left wrist was confirmed so surgery scheduled for Sept. 9th. I will be out of action for aprox. 6 weeks and limited action for another 2 - 4 weeks. Seems there is also some damage to the Ulanar nerve & the surgery should eliminate some or all of that also, but not guaranteed.

As I found out recently life is too damn short & unpredictable to worry about things so I will just go with whatever HE throws at me and roll with it!

Good luck with the surgery GB, It might seem daunting now to be out of action with the scrollsaw for so long, but you have the nice thoughts of getting back to scrolling without any pain in the wrist/thumb area.
my thoughts and prayers will be with you for a fast and full recovery.

Hope the surgery goes well GB.  You'll be in the thoughts and prayers. Maybe a wee JW BLACK will help.  ;) ;)

Ah GB you have certainly hit a rough patch. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Seems we are all slowly falling apart. I suffer from arthritis too, particularly in my back and legs some days I can hardly get around.  My Dr put me on Tramaset. I find it better than Celebrex.

Good news about the knee.  Sorry about the hand/wrist.  When you have had the surgery why not pop on over to the UK and visit Iggy.  You can share surgery stories.   :D ;)   Take out a lottery ticket when you have had the surgery, you deserve some good luck for a change.  :-*

Ray, if GB is anything like that "Rob Roy" he'll even drink with a straw if necessary!!!!

Take care GB, good luck with the op.

Hi Ray take no heed of what Keefie says. I don't drink J W with a straw, I'm hooked up to a DRIP. Saves a lot of hassle. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::).

I also hope everything works out well for you. Take your time healing! In the long run, it will be better than if you hurry and don't allow everything to heal properly.

Big (((HUGS))) to you!
