 a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Friday 03 September 2010 Hand Operation Operation to remove the carpel boss on my right hand that has been causing problems for the last 12 months or so. Can't praise Wrightington Hospital enough, clean, efficient and very professional. 7:30 Arrive as requested 7:40 I'm in my gown sat on my bed 7:50 Visited by anaesthetist to talk through what was going to happen 8:10 Visited by registrar to have a look at offending lump 8:20 Theatre nurse comes to go through details one last time 8:35 In theatre for the op 11:00 Wake up in recovery 11:15 Back on the ward 11:45 Served lunch 14:00 Go home Excellent!!! Op appears to have gone well. As well as a general anaesthetic they also gave me a 'block' which is a number of injections in the armpit into the four main nerves that run down to the hand basically blocking all sensation to the hand. This is apparently for pain management after the op as, I am told, the bone will be very painfull after being shaved. The 'block' was only partially successful as apparently I must have "very thick nerves". I now have a large(ish) bandage on the hand/wrist that stays in place for two weeks, then removed and the stitches taken out. The numbness in the hand seems to have got worse rather than wear off just yet. Can't move any of my fingers or thumb, and can't feel any of them either (tested by the kids taking it in turn biting one of my fingers). Hoping for not too much pain once the numbness wears off. So, two weeks bandaged up will mean working round it at the gym, no-handed squats and front squats with crossover arms I think. Then once the wound is uncovered and confirmed as healed it's back to it, bollox to this 6 to 12 week recovery, I reckon 6 weeks maximum to full fitness!!! Maybe the Northern Masters in October isnt out of the question after all  Oh, and have been given a two week sicknote!!!! Doubt I'll take the full two weeks but nice to know I can if I want to!!  | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Thanks for the good wishes fellas. The feeling is gradually coming back into the hand, not had any painkillers yet so it's looking promising. 6 to 12 weeks my arse! I'll be squatting as normal next week I reckon Two week sicknote is a nice idea but I can work from home so not sure can justify it | ||

No excuses now, knees have been ok for the last 6 months or so, if the wrist is now sorted I just need to get strong and start shifting a bit of weight again!! | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Monday 6 September 2010 Managed to get to Adders for a chat. Chat turned into a few light squats, although hadnt taken any training gear so it was in my trainers. Squat one handed 70 x5, x5, x5, x5, x5 Front Squat cross over hand style 70 x5, x5, x5, x5, x5 Never done crossover handed front squats before and I have to say they are a completely different movement than a 'proper' front squat, I would say that they feel closer to a back squat than a frontie, IMO!! Hand is still swollen and getting very itchy under the bandage, wound must be healing! | ||
