the operation went fine on my wrist. i fell asllep and woke up so fast it seemed. diddnt even know they had operated. i have to walk around withthis big rectangle sponge over my arm. it has holes on each side. it looks like a big piece of cheese. reminds me of sponge bob square pants. its very fashioable if you are blind. its suppose to help protect my wriist from bumps. wrist has temp pins that shoud come out in 1 wk. my wrist hurts soo much still. oh well...i could have broke my leg or neck. keep me in your prayers, helen
