IH, things seems to have gone very well. Little post operative pain, just the inconvenience of trying to type with a large ace wrap covering my hand and wrist. Whether it will be successful won't be clear for several weeks.
I had a lengthy discussion with the surgeon over the merits of surgery versus a series of cortisone shots. He concluded that the shots were easier and would likely provide significant relief for a couple of months, but they just don't address the underlying problem, which could continue to deteriorate. He performed the surgery with an arthroscope which should lead to a faster healing. Here's hoping.
Now, onward to the BC!!
