So...finally had consult with hand surgeon today, he agreed to do my surgery, though went to great lengths to explain I may not get back to 100%, though playing guitar again is a reasonable goal. Normally the surgery to do my repair is done on younger patients. I don't have much choice, can't go on as I am. Trying to set date, may be a few days before Christmas, or early January.
So with that thought sloshing around in my head, and a couple Tylenol, time to hit the rack. Gonna be up early to bring daughter to a morning 5K "Turkey Trot."
Be safe all, have a Happy Thanksgiving.
