thanks Rick Its almost time for me to have a shower and get ready to go to the hospital I just hope I'm not waiting too long Ill be taking my book Digital Photography Step by Step by Tom Ang Just in case they make me wait

Usually with day surgery you will wait, the elderly with many health problems and the young (children) go first. This is because the elderly often need more time to recovery, and kids are hopeless at fasting from midnight,they are generally pestering parents for something to eat or drink about now, and if the surgery isn't till late morning for them, they start getting grumpy. Reasonably healthy young and middle-aged adults get shunted to the end of the surgery lists on any given day. My day job involves scheduling people to theatre and co-coordinating anaesthetist and specialist surgeons, among other tasks.

Hi all just to let you know I'm ok had the operation all went well in a lot of pain and because I'm allelic to all the good stuff ( morphine pethidine codeine) there is not much I can take for pain IVE been in bed sleeping most of the time but thought I would come and say hi and let you know how I'm going the bandage can come of in a few more days and the stitches come out in 14 days time 9 in all I think. I was told that my incision would be on the right side of my elbow but its on the left side or under the funny bone. I am sure once when the stitches come out ill feel much better but wont be able to pick up my camera until at least then. but hoping to be able to type again with both hands as this typing with one hand is very slow going any way ill be keeping an eye on you and looking at your photos and having a read but I prob wont say much but will be there looking

Glad to hear the good news!

In a couple of months time, you'll have forgotten all about the op.

Great to hear all went well Nikkie. You will be back to your old self minus the pain sooner than you think. I have a similar problem with pain killers so I can sympathize there.
Cheers

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
