Humble Prayer Warrior
Thanks to all who prayed for successful open carpal tunnel release surgery for my right wrist this past February and for my left wrist much more recently. [That surgery took place on May 1, along with trigger finger release on my left ring finger.] First: I showed the surgeon -- same man did both operations-- the increase in my thenar muscle on my right palm. He was AMAZED. He said, "You had quite a divet there. We did the surgery in the hopes of staving off further damage. You must have good genes." [In other words, he wasn't expecting me to actually regain muscle.] My right hand is about 80% better, still symptomatic but much improved. I ask that you continue to pray for me to get 100% recovery. As far as the left side goes, they found massive scarring, even more than they did with my right hand, as well as flattening of the median nerve. He said, "It's a good thing you got in here." I had a bumpy first couple of days in terms of pain but after that, I did very well. I have to keep reminding myself not to overdo it with my left hand because all I have now is some minor discomfort. I ask you to pray in Jesus' name for 100% restoration on my left hand as well. I want to see the muscle I lost come back. Thank you for praying!
