Carpal Tunnel Surgery

[Janet]

Mom is doing fine right now. She wants to go home so we are going to let her ......come what may. She won't listen to reason and doesn't want help so most likely unless it's an emergency... she won't get any.

We've all grown tired of trying to help her when she doesn't want help and gets angry when we try to get it for her. She is going home during the day and at night she sleeps here for dialysis. When she can start hooking herself up without help then the machine will be moved back to her house.

I know it sounds cruel, but she won't listen to us and says she can live on her own without help. At night....I will be turning my phones off....I need to be able to stay awake driving the bus...so if she needs help during the night...she'll have to call one of my brothers or 911.


I sure wish I would have taken a picture of my hand with all 6 stitches in it. I had thought about it plenty of times but just didn't get one taken. Now the skin is peeling around the incision and is healing up nicely. I don't think there will be that much of a scar. My pointer finger and thumb are still on the numb side, but it comes and goes. Hopefully it will go and stay that way...lol.
