MIA for a while

[Nikki+2]

I'm leaving for NC in the morning. My mom is having carpel tunnel surgery and I'm going up to help her be one handed for a while. I have no idea how long I'll be gone, I'm guessing about a week. So, y'all don't have too much fun without me and if I'm not answering PMs or profile messages it's not 'cause I don't love you! I'm sure I'll manage to sneak in some computer time up there but probably not much.

Have a great time with your mom Nikki....see you when you get home.

Thanks y'all!

Hi Caren! It's good to see you stranger (well at least a stranger on YT).

At the same time? We've already come up with a huge list of things that are hard to do one handed- putting toothpaste on brush, putting on a bra, opening anything with a child proof cap or really even without, washing face, blow drying hair- it's amazing how much we rely on two hands I can't even imagine both. How was she afterward pain wise?

Thank you! We always have a blast together so it will be all fun once she is able to ease off the percocet(sp?).

No, she had each done a few months apart. I think she was fine after a few days. I don't remember her taking off much time from work (she might have taken off a few days but nothing to major). Is it horrible that I never thought of her having to do things one handed? I think she had a soft cast-type thing but that could do most stuff. Honestly, the thing that I remember the most is skipping school to sit while she was having surgery and driving her home.

Well any chance to skip school is memorable. They're telling my mom she has to keep it elevated and zero use for 3 days but we'll see. You're not terrible- most of the things that got us thinking were girly things (hair, makeup, bra, makeup removal, etc.). The things she doesn't trust her hubby to handle for her (well hopefully he could handle a bra but the other things). She has 7 acres, 2 horses, 2 dogs and 3 cats so he'll be busy enough as it is.

I'm sure she'll be fine. The fun part is the first evening when she'll be out of it and you can tell her weird stuff and make say random things.

Well that will be tomorrow night after we break out the wine. She doesn't drink much but we always hit the wine my first night and she is a serious light weight. She's had a few elective surgeries that I've taken her to and she is beyond hilarious coming out of anesthesia. The most fun to mess with. She took me for a surgery once and thought it would be payback time. Apparently all I did was repeatedly ask if anyone was mad at me. You promise? I didn't do anything? No one's mad? God only knows what odd things are hiding in my subconcious.
