Carpal tunnel of love

Today I was working just like any other day, taking calls and helping customers but all of a sudden this afternoon I started feeling sharp pain in my left forearm. It felt like someone was pulling at my nerves and veins inside my arms. It hurt like hell. That's what carpal tunnel syndrome feels like. Horrible. Annoying. Not fun.

Well what a surprise. When I get home there was a message on my answering machine confirming my appointment with the plastic surgeon! What a coincidence! Maybe not that amazing but still! Impressive!

I just have to find out tomorrow what this appointment is about. Is it surgery? Is it just a prep appointment? I gotta get lots of stuff ready if its surgery. Having to live with one functioning arm cannot be easy. (Try washing your hair, or putting on a shirt with one arm!)

It's exciting, nerves racking, stressful and I'm anxious about the pain. I know it's a 15 minute operation and you don't feel a thing but still the pain post-surgery is frightening the hell out of me!

Ill keep you posted.
