LoL Mongo thanks to everybody for the well wishes this is just a little update Yesterday was first day with out bandage seen the operation from looking in the mirror did not need to take any pain killers until last night back typing with 2 hands again getting around the forum leaving my 2 bobs worth. Missing the camera and snapping away missed out on a few good photo opportunity's but not the end of the world once when stitches are removed I will be much better Just hope now the operation was as successful as my carpel tunnel was I had years ago Dr said only time will tell. But recovery is coming along now. Today is day 5 already pretty fast really wont be long and Ill be back to normal thanks again for all your kind regards all MWAH! all
