*HUG*
I am somewhat better today, just wrung out from it.
Hubby is doing AMAZINGLY well!

On the 4rth day after his surgery. he went grocery shopping!
He only needed something for pain, on the day after
his surgery, and has not touched them since.

We were told that this surgeon was the best one
in Maine, and they weren’t kidding!
I never expected him to do THIS well, so soon!

His recovery from the first one was brutal.
I’m so amazed and pleased for him, you know?
Thanks so much for asking!

That’s amazing about your husband’s recovery this time.

I have a story about good surgeon versus bad surgeon. I had the exact same operation with two different docs. Well no actually the second one was more involved and included what the first doctor did but then she also did some other stuff. Anyway with the first doctor, she only operated on the intersection syndrome. My hands swelled up back in blue, needed pain pills. Was very painful and the recovery was long. She didn’t do it quite right so the other doctor redid it posted a radial tunnel release and tennis elbow. So actually she did triple the amount. But I had absolutely no swelling, no bruising, I took one Tylenol with codeine and decided I didn’t need any more. It was like night and day.

Sounds like what your hubby experienced. Unfortunately as lay people we don’t know until we have it done who’s good and who isnt.
