They could, and should, do surgery.
When?
Does tomorrow work for me?
Why yes it does.
Best of luck tomorrow, Marine. Hoping he brings his best game and you have a quick recovery.

He said the bone was indeed a crush fracture, and I had lost some length. They could, and should, do surgery.

Getr done. Carol had that surgery and it worked miracles. She came home the same day with me and although there was
some pain involved she made a full recovery. You've little choice in the matter. ;)

Man, that nerve block is a lifesaver. Had that with my rotator cuff surgery. Made a huge difference for a few hours.
Hang tough, brother. :D

I guess not really a nerve block but I've had Spinal blocks twice and a Epidural once for surgery's and hated them. Weird feeling, not numb but it's like nothing is there from your waist down. You can kind of have a feeling of what it's like to be a paraplegic except you know it will wear off.

Don't actually remember the effects of the Epidural much, they had me under sedation for around 10 hrs. and I felt pretty lousy from that.

They did the nerve block first, using a Nerve stimulator to find the nerves to block. It was uncomfortable, but not too painful. Then I was gone, woke up a couple hours later, everything was done. No feeling from midway down the lower arm. There is some pain starting now, about twenty hours later... But grateful for a solid nights sleep. Glad to have the surgery behind me.

I thought my wife would set off the alarms at the airport but they tell me that stainless steel doesn't do that.
She has a plate and six screws. You would never know. She types and does everything just like before.
