Patty58 - Having Surgery today YT family - pleaseremember our YT sister and my Frister, Patty58 in your prayers - especially this morning while she is in surgery 7:45 Central Time and continuing through the next 4 - 5 weeks. She is having surgery to repair her hands from the damage done by arthritis (thumb) and dupuytrens contracture. From what Patty has described and from the pics that I have seen, it isn't going to be fun. She is going to have a huge amount of stitches plus having tendons swapped around to "fix her thumb". She is VERY right handed and we have talked about some of the things that are very hard to do with the "other hand". I know she will be reading this thread so let's post not only to let her know that we are praying for her but to help make her smile and mention those things that it is hard to do with the "wrong hand"..... I'll start It is very hard to wipe with the wrong hand...... :D |
I hope you have a fast recovery Patty and everything goes well today! |

It's a good thing that Patty doesn't like coffee. It's hard to type and drink coffee with TWO hands, I can't imagine trying to do all of that with one. |
I love you Dear Friend ! :hearts-xx:hearts-en:hearts-xx since you cannot type ..... :callme: |
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Have a quick and painless recovery. |

Patti - you will be in my thoughts and prayers.... it will be a difficult time but you will do great - you are a strong gal. :) I had to type one handed for a while after a surgery - with the wrong hand. It was rather comical. Now, if you are having surgery on both hands we have to be more creative here. You can type with a stick in your mouth. It would be slow, but at least we'll be able to communicate with you. :) You can put a little piece of rubber or something on the end of the stick so it stays on the keys better and doesn't slide around... less typos. I'm guessing you get out of doing dishes for several weeks? That's a good thing, right? :rolleyes: As for the wiping thing... you could ask for a catheter to be put in. :cool: That would help a little bit. Hang in there. |
Patty I am praying your surgery goes well. Hopefully we will hear from you soon |
Patty, prayers for a quick recovery. Cindy, buttons, snaps, zippers and ties...here's to pull-on pants, slip-on shoes & pull-over tops. You said the first thing I thought of. |
Big hugs to Patty... Have a quick recovery by resting and listening to your Doctors. Don't over-do sister!! ~Kathy:animal-pa |
Update on Patty!! I talked with Patty just a few minutes ago -- I TALKED TO PATTY! She was in good spirits and was in the car on the way home. Of course they had to stop at the pharmacy for drugs :) But I TALKED TO PATTY. |
Gee Cindy, are you happy that you TALKED TO PATTY??? :D It's good to know surgery is over and she's on the way home.... I'm sure you will talk to her again and keep us updated. ;) |
Patty~ You are definitely in my thoughts...glad you are out of surgery. Please keep us posted on everything. Hugs!! Tammy |
Hey Patty, I hope you have a speedy recovery! I'll be thinking of you today!!! |
