 Best wishes in getting over the surgery soon! Listen to your Dr. when it concerns what you can and can't do and when...

You lucky dog!  No cast.  If you feel left out, just get a large piece of PVC pipe and slide it up your arm.  Add duct tape on each end.   Ok, maybe that would be a bit extreme.  You know, most nurses went to school to learn how to torture patients don't you.   Just kidding but it is a cool benefit.  Never, never tick off a nurse!!

Let me know how you're doing.  Remember to ask if you have questions!        deb

Good luck, I hope you have a speedy recovery.

And like Skillet said, listen to your doctor.

I had elbow surgery three weeks ago. In my case, I had a compressed ulnar nerve and the procedure was called an "ulnar nerve transposition." I had a splint on for 10 days.
