[QUOTE="STM, post: 740999, member: 12827"] I had surgery on my left wrist yesterday to remove a nickel-sized ganglion cyst. It had gotten pretty painful and aggravating. It was sitting right on top of the radial artery and radial nerve which complicated the surgery somewhat. The surgery was done under local anesthesia though they did give me some fentanyl through my IV to "relax me". I remember being wheeled into the OR but the next thing I knew I was in recovery. The surgery went without a hitch and I am in a splint that goes from just below my elbow to wrist for at least the next two weeks. After the two weeks have elapsed the doctor will remove the dressings and sutures and assess how much longer I have to wear the splint. 18 hours post op and I have essentially no post op pain so that is a bonus. I will give it a couple of days to rest and then back out to do photography. Needless to say no drums and the splint prevents me from getting my fingers around the neck of my bass so no music I guess until the splint comes off. I guess I will just have to settle for listening instead of playing. :mad: [ATTACH=CONFIG]343465._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
