Well the surgery went well. I am obviously typing and uploading a few pics using my left hand. What takes me about 30 seconds is not taking me an afternoon.

My doctor said that I must have had serious capal tunnel since I am not in any real pain other than some discomfort. Shown below is my elbow. There are about 25 staples in my arm. My hand is completely cut open with a 4″ gash and stitched up. Crazy. Next Thursday I get my staples and stitches out. Whoot. I guess I have to go back to work on Monday. Sigh. Recovery for such a valuable tool gets ignored. I refuse to take any pain meds.  I am a hero.
