Floppy noodle arm

Holly Doyne Posted on by

There were plenty of trucks on the Autobahn early this morning. Even so, we got through the construction zones to the pre-op area by 0630. The nice people made me comfortable and stuck me full of holes. Since part of that was a scalene block, it could have been much worse. The resulting floppy arm hanging off my shoulder is still asleep.

Being home is good. Men really don’t always know how to help, so I am releasing my DH back to his computer and getting some sleep. Typing with one hand is a real pain.

Not the sandals, but the socks made the journey with me into the operating room to keep me warm and safe.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!

  1. Hi Holly,

    I am wishing you a speedy recovery! Your Lava Spirals look very cozy, I’m sure they helped keep you warm in the operating room.

    Cheers,
    your sock pal

  4. I hope your post op pain is more a mouse than a mongoose. You are lucky that you are not in Australia – there would not be any socks in surgery here!
