Update...

This past week has been quite an experience. I do not recommend getting carpal tunnel surgery done within a month of each other. I don't know if it's because I have had carpal tunnel for so long or what but this past week has been an eye opener.

Even though I had surgery on my left hand the pain was more in my right hand. I have had to compensate it so I wouldn't hurt my other hand. One of my friends told me I was crazy to get it done so quickly after the first but I thought it would be no big deal. Wrong.

The pain would keep me up at night & sometimes I couldn't even think of putting something into either hand. The pain killers that the Dr gave me didn't work so I ended up using Schane's Tylenol with Codeine that she received when she got her tonsils out. That worked great! And there's a refill!

I'm still not sleeping very well but I'm not taking the medicine. I don't want to get addicted you know. Deb is going to help me get the house in order for Joan's return next week. Even pushing a vacuum around for 5 mins can set off an extremely bad pain attack.

Deb has signed us both up for the last cake class. I told her I don't know how I'm going to make it through but she says that she will help me. The title is called Fondant & Gum Paste. After this class we should know it all. Ya right. My hand is hurting just thinking about taking this class. It starts next Thursday. I might need to go drugged to my class that way I won't be complaining. Maybe I better call in that refill too......
