I look more rad than Lutheranism

Carpal tunnel surgery is tomorrow morning at 8:15 -- I have to be there at 6:45, which means getting up around 5, which is not my favorite of the a.m. times. But then it'll be over and done with and I should be home before noon and can nap the afternoon away.

I know that the pins-and-needles feeling won't go away immediately, because the nerves need to re-grow, but still, I can't wait to have feeling in my hand again.

They are not chopping your hand off and replacing it with an evil one.

At best you'll have a mildly irritated hand.

I wonder what mischief Steph's evil hand will get up to first. I mean an editor with an evil hand... things could get super fun super fast. Muah-ha-ha.

Hash browns from the McDonald's drive-thru. I don't think I'd had those in 10-15 years, and they were SO good.

I'm all done and back home and I gotta nap, because 5 a.m. is too early of an a.m. for me.

A worthy after-surgery treat! Quick recovery~ma.
