Surgery went well.
I am OK, though still a little whacked out from the anesthesia.
Great news, Dwight! Glad it went well. Just curious, though - how do we tell when you are no longer a little whacked out, because I kinda thought that was one of your hallmarks!

Thanks for the update, Dwight. As with Todd, the whacked-out definition had me a little concerned.

It took 6 days of trying to get off the prescription pain medications to actually get off them. I hate taking those dam things. 10 days without beer or cocktails is even worse.

So what is the situation now ? And now that he's off the RX meds, he can self-medicate with beer and mixed drinks!

I am well versed in those properties, both personally and professionally! And oh what qualities they are!

Good deal, Dwight. Thank goodness for those nutrients in your barley pop.

Cast came off today. Doc says it all looks great including the X-rays. I don’t think it looks so great but you can be the judge of that. Check out the latest brace color. They just got it in yesterday, so I figured go with it. I am in charge of my own physical therapy with three levels of activities over the next month. My next appointment will then determine if I am ready to schedule the right hand……

After the first pic, I thought there's no way this can be worse than the picture of your 'venison-pastrami' looking ankle.
Then, I scrolled further down.
Ok, ok, it's not as bad as the ankle, and the brace really suits your personality, and love of cats.

Seems like your problem involved more than a carpal release.

Venison pastrami, besides being delicious, is also a thing of beauty. Dwight's seriously mutilated extremities are . . . Yuck! Anyway, Dwight -- we are glad you are healing fast. How's your bride doing?

That is ugly and quite apish looking - like road kill. IMO just as bad as the foot.
I can not in good conscious compare it to any food let alone any of Cat's creations.
Best of luck with the rehab.

"Hey -- that is just unfair!"
I know, I know...I love the pastrami, but something about the ankle...the color....a shade of purple...it just reminded me of cured meats.

Looking better. How's the range of motion? Any after effects?
