Wrist Surgery :(

This looks pretty gross, but that's the point. I'm trying to gather as much sympathy as I can!
I hate surgery of any kind no matter what!!! This was the first day I could take the bandages off so it's pretty swollen all the way up my hand and even in my knuckles. Looks like a bad case of arthritis. After 4 weeks though, it looks much better than this. It is only now starting to bend, but I taught pilates with it like this anyway and it worked out. The thing is when you're a mom nothing can stop you from using your hand...surgery or no surgery. You're pretty much forced to get better, so I am.

The day I had surgery, I was being prepped by all the anesthesiologists and IV people and my doctor comes in right before I'm knocked out, smiles at me, draws a picture on my hand, and walks out. "Wait!" I wanted to yell, aren't you going to let me ask my questions or at least tell me something first??? Nope, not a word. Happy cutting!
