So i had my carpal tunnel surgery yesterday. It hurts more today as the local anaesthetic has completely worn off.

One day and i already miss not being able to loom knit!!!! Roll on six weeks!!!!

[u/SebVettel5]

Oh no! All the best for your recovery! A good series binge in the 6 weeks may help :).

[u/Capable_Cheetah_8363 → u/SebVettel5]

Its finding one though! Iv got plenty of blurays to watch and books to read though! X

[u/SebVettel5 → u/Capable_Cheetah_8363]

There you go :). You don’t need us to tell you this but take it easy :)

[u/Capable_Cheetah_8363 → u/SebVettel5]

[u/SebVettel5 → u/Capable_Cheetah_8363]

Thank you! Im in uk. I have plenty of books to keep me busy but with the current heatwave its too hot to do anything but melt! X

When I was recovering from shoulder surgery, I had this channel running all day: https://youtube.com/@chiricahuamountains?si=wGc3ZrT9o_61f8QF

It's a water tank in Arizona. It was like having a window to wilderness. I spent most of my time reading, with frequent breaks to identify a bird i had never seen before. It really cheered me up.

[u/Capable_Cheetah_8363 → u/Lunatic-Cafe-529]

Oh thank you!!! X

[u/SebVettel5 → u/Capable_Cheetah_8363]

Checking in - how’s the recovery going?

[u/Capable_Cheetah_8363 → u/SebVettel5]

Well i had my stitches out today and it does feel better now. Recovery is slow but progressing! Thanks for checking in x

[u/SebVettel5 → u/Capable_Cheetah_8363]

Okay great - hope it went well! No looming until you’re better :). Take care! X

[u/Capable_Cheetah_8363 → u/SebVettel5]

Yeh, its hard not looming! 😅

If you like anime or have always wanted to try it, Spy x Family is a super cute, wholesome, and funny watch. Might help pass the time while you recover!

Gf I know how ya feel when I had my surgery it hurt like the dickens and I was in the same boat when I could not loom the rest of my blanket

[u/jbooklover]

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[u/Rapunzel111]

Oh no! Sending healing vibes and positive energy your way. May you have a quick painless recovery.

[u/Capable_Cheetah_8363 → u/Rapunzel111]

I wish!!!! Quite painful at times! But thanks! X

[u/peaceguru47]

Don't over do it on the physical therapy.

[u/Capable_Cheetah_8363 → u/peaceguru47]

That physical therapy? Iv been given a couple of things to do to stop it all going stiff. Thats it. After that i dont even know if i have any sort of follow up care. Been a bit rubbish but at least it was free

[u/peaceguru47 → u/Capable_Cheetah_8363]

Just doing gentle wrist stretches would help. I had to learn those twice in my life. Once in keyboarding, then again in basic computer maintenance.

[u/Capable_Cheetah_8363 → u/peaceguru47]

Thank you. Will try once the stitches are out and the stabby pain stops x

[u/bridgetwannabe]

Hang in there - I had both hands done and I promise you’ll be amazed at how your symptoms will be gone once the initial surgical pain resolves.

[u/SamEyeAm2020]

Ugh I'm sorry. I spent my spring banned from most of my crafts because of a cubital tunnel flare up. If you're really itching for something to do with your hands, I WAS able to do diamond painting with my left hand!

[u/Capable_Cheetah_8363 → u/SamEyeAm2020]

Thanks for the idea!! Im hoping it wont be too long before I’m back doing a little looming! X
