curlyoak 840 Posted April 1 Author Report Share Posted April 1 I have had several surgeries. The way it goes after the surgery you feel worse. Then the healing at various rates. I look for the break even. When you feel different but not bad and not worth doing. But the bonus is when healing continues past the break even. If it is a good surgery you never get back to your very best but you gained an improvement. To different degrees. This surgery was different. Before I could not move my thumb painlessly. And when I woke I could. I think I have a chance of going back to my best. A first for me and surgeries. I'm thinking when I look back I will think that it was an aggravation that compromised me for several days and made me appreciate what I am missing. I will also remember the kindness of healing words. 9 days to go... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
legenddc 484 Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 I got my dad this electric screwdriver and it helped him for a while. You can find them cheaper if you search around but it's a great tool for things like light switches and smaller things. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-4-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Screwdriver-Kit-HP54L/205545276 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
