So I'm finally having surgery on my left arm on Tuesday. I am honestly really looking forward to it. This week I haven't been able to take any NSAID's (aspirin, Advil, etc.) to help deal with the pain and swelling. I have been able to take Tylenol, but that doesn't even take the edge off the pain. So yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to getting this done!
I'm having an ulnar osteotomy, which is where they will slice out a few mm of bone out of my ulna. I'll have a steel plate and 6 screws put in my arm to put the bone back together. I'll be in a cast for a total of 6 weeks, and basically out from work for the better part of 2 weeks.
I've never had a broken bone or surgery before, so this is all a new experience to me. Should be interesting to say the least.
All I know is that getting it fixed so I'm not in constant pain like I have been for 5 months will be wonderful.
Any prayers or vibes would sure be appreciated.
I'm sure I'll be fine, but thee are obviously risks any time you go under general anesthesia, and of course the risks of infection, etc.
