I

I lay on this couch covered in big sheets of white paper.I was unable to lie on my side so I lay on my back with a pillow under my right arm and my right hand was on my left shoulder.That pulled on the shoulder which had been frozen.
Then they began to put other things over me maybe plastic to stop blood from getting onto my dress.This seemed to take ages then he gave me a couple of injections.He stuck a pin in to see if I was numb.Then silence fell as he laboured with his knife.He cried,
Are you on Warfarin? Well, no,But I do bleed a lot.Silence
The nurse sprayed something on and I guess he stitched the wound.Then he put a dressing on.I got up and walked to the chair
The nurse said it will hurt when the anaesthetic wears off
It didn’t hurt.Not compared to the pain I have all the time from arthritis which had been flaring up
So in the evening I got a severe pain in my left thumb.Really agonising for a few hours… then it began to fade away.I am surrounded by supports and splints and so on……
Because I went alone I feel as if it has not happened.I am to take off the dressing on Sunday…. what fun.He is good at sewing and is very clever.
Let’s hope that is it
