strmrdr Ideal Rock Total Posts: 23,296 Last Post: 10/9/2009 Member Since: 11/1/2003	Passed the physical and all my doctors have cleared it. Next friday 7am. Im praying that it will finaly take care of it and my elbow will stop hurting for the first time in almost 2 years. For those that didnt see the other posts. They are removing a bone chip, removing a bone spur, fixing a tendon and cleaning out scar and damaged tissue in my elbow. It has been hurting for almost 2 years now and everything was tried to avoid surgery but failed. ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K

Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

Now, if you are having the surgery done with a scope they will send you home with some pics of the inside of your elbow. Maybe you shouldn't post those. I don't know if people will like bloody bone chip pics. I hope it all goes well and your elbow finally feels better. Two years is a long time to be in pain. Good luck. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

And, be nice to your nurses, they give the pain meds. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

starryeyed Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,587 Last Post: 10/5/2009 Member Since: 11/6/2006	Hey Storm. Thanks for sharing - no it wasn't weird to see the xray. It was really helpful in understanding what's going on with you! We are all very concerned about you and wholeheartedly want you to recover 100%! And you were so considerate of all Christmas asscher-hunters to schedule the surgery when you did! Everyone will have picked their stones by then! Ha-ha! I hope you'll still be able to join us after the surgery - will you be able to type?? Hope you're not offline for too long - we'd miss you too much! Good luck with it! I'm sure the doctor can do the procedure in his sleep, so don't worry!

Yes I scheduled it at that time for that very reason LOL ... actually since its a day when no one wants to have surgery they had an opening or I would have had to wait until late Jan because he only does this type of surgery on Fridays. I can type pretty good with one hand and have a copy of viavoice and a headset so I will be around. Don't know it I will make any sense or not but LOL (I know how is that different from any other day :P} ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K

People who have surgery early in the day have less postoperative nausea, so you got a good time slot. I've heard of tennis elbow, but not computer elbow before

Your prayers and good thoughts have the tears rolling, and if I can see thru them to finish this posting... This is another one of those trials that Strm and I have to go thru this year...surely next year HAS to be better. It is sooooooo hard being sooooo far away and not being there for him. Sigh...but this is the way it HAS to be and I just have to learn to accept it. I will try to get on ASAP when I hear how Strm has done thru his surgery. We are just not sure yet how that is going to work out in the contacting of the information. Please everyone, keep my darling in your thots and prayers that day...I know I am gonna be a wreck and drive my folks crazy till I have heard - lol I will be as glad as he when it is over...I just pray this works for him, so the pain will cease! He is such a trooper - wouldn't even show how much he hurt when I was there... Loves yas Honey, and take care of you for me! Wifey2b :} I get to wear strmrdr's insanias :}
