ohhhhh gross

here is my lovely partial cast thingy. all went well (as identified by the administration of versed, fentanyl, and my personal favorite diprivan).

my fingers are grotesque and swollen up. my skin is all yellow and jaundice from the betadine.

but.........................no numbness!!!!! even when i bend my arm. yeah!

keeping ice packs on. so how long has a pkg of peas been in the freezer when you have to use a hammer to break it apart. it is likely these are the same peas i used for my arm surgery 2 years ago. i only go into the freezer for eggo waffles. sad but true.

(typing with 1 finger, sorry)

keep cast on until 25th. leave for jordan 28th.

p.s. for VA night shift. pat is back in hospital. rhonda t--- your friend phyllis took care of me in pre-op....says hi.
