That all sounds very good! Aside from the bit where you have carpal tunnel, that's not great. But yay on the speedy getting it fixed!
I'll be in my bunk.

Yay for quick fixes! Did they say how long you won't be able to work? My guess is that wrists are helpful in editing.

The doctor who did the EMG said probably about 1 week, but maybe 2. I'll be curious to see what the surgeon says.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I took a spectacular fall, coming down on my *throat* and forehead on the back of a chair.
Aye, caramba! That's a very bad landing strategy.
I am sad to report that it's time for everybody to slow the fuck down, hire your neighbor's college age kids to move your furniture, get down off the ladders and hold the bannister when you're going downstairs.
I have my first Pilates today. Let the grand body reshaping plan begin.
I got my eyebrow microblading touched up yesterday and I'm hoping the sweat doesn't sting too much.
When I first got my eyebrows bladed it was disconcerting. I felt conspicuously Groucho Marks. Then it calms down after a week and you get used to it. And now, I look at pictures before I did it and my face looked so undefined.
I especially notice this effect on older guys who've resorted to shaving their heads and their eyebrows are thin and wispy and gray. And I think, "They've chosen to look like thumbs."
Pretty bitchy, I realize coming from the land of Metrosexuals, but I'm not a fan of Joe Rogan's bulletheaded influence.

That sounds reasonable. As they say, follow the doctor's orders. It takes some planning not to use your hands!

Yow, Brenda! Throat and face are not ideal landing gear!
Steph, I hope everything goes as smoothly as the run-up to the surgery seems to be going.

Everyone, be safe out there.

I'm overdue for: haircut, color, and pedicure. But I'm not scheduling anything until I get the hand surgery scheduled, because getting feeling back in my right hand takes top priority and I will clear my schedule to make it happen as quickly as possible.
Then: haircut, color, and pedicure. (I do my own brow shaping.)

I have no brows, and my bangs cover what tiny blond bits I do have. My SIL will shape and color them from time to time, but that startles me! I do need to get my hair trimmed. Not sure when I am going to fit that in, and I may end up just trimming my bangs myself instead.
