3 more weeks...

Surgery is three weeks from tomorrow and I'm wishing it was sooner which makes me sound like one sick puppy. I thought I was doing pretty good but this past week, I feel like I'm getting worse. My pinkie finger on my right hand has really been bothering me so I've been wrapping my pinkie and ring finger to immobilize them which seems to make them feel better but takes away a lot of dexterity.

I came across this great website and forum for people with Cubital Tunnel and through that, was able to read the blog of another Cubital Tunnel sufferer who gave a really good account of what to expect from the Cubital (CuTS) part of the surgery. He gave really good tips and advice and I now have a better idea of what to expect. Of course, I'm actually having two more procedures than he did at the same time so I'm not sure how much of a difference that will make in my recovery versus his.

Over all, I'm just wishing that surgery could come sooner so I could get it over with and hopefully start feeling better.
