Surgery today. Prayer requested.
 

Friends,

I am having surgery on my right thumb today. A freak accident with a spring loaded oven door hinge severed the nerves and tendons in my right hand last week. :crying:

Your prayers are solicited for an accurate and successful surgery and restoration of the sense of touch and use of my right thumb. This last week has not been one of my favorite experiences...I can't even hold a gun in my right hand at the moment!

3 to 6 months of intensive physical therapy is on the horizon...

Thanks in advance...

I will report back as soon as I can.

Good luck and my prayers go out to you! :thumbup:

I lost the use of my right shoulder some years back and can no longer shoot rifles right handed...So since I have to shoot lefty anyway, I'm gradually switching over to left handed pistol shooting...

...It's...Interesting... :rolleyes:

Best wishes and we'll be praying for your expedited recovery.
That having been said, better dig in for long re-hab. Nerves re-generate at a painfully slow pace.

Prayers of Friendship!!!

When I was in high school, I severed the nerve that provides sense to the inside half of my right pinky. For a year or so, it was as if that half of my pinky (from midline top of pinky to midline bottom of pinky) was numbed with novacaine. Then as time went on, I regained sensation. Today when I touch that area, I can tell there's a slight difference in sensation but for all intents and purposes, the sensation came back.

Good luck to you!

John, Prayers inbound and good thoughts for a successful recovery, Vince

Prayers for a successful surgery & speedy recovery!

Good luck and some of the luck will be if you follow doctor's orders. It works better that way.

you and your family are always in my prayers....

I will be very happy to include you in my daily prayers John. I too am a stickler for maintaining a strict therapy schedule and although it can be uncomfortable early on the reward makes it all worthwhile.

John it is new challenge in your life and remember you have conqurred every one up to now~~~ Eric....

One time I got my thumb cut halfway through on a saw, it took a few years until all sensation came back, but it did come back 100% so hang in there!

Good Luck John...
 

Been there done that.. hope it turns out ok for you... best to you John, til..lat'r...GT:cheers:

I guess you won't be doing any hitch-hiking for awhile. Just stay home and recuperate.
