The operation on my left arm appears to be a success, at least as far as I can tell. I still have tingling/numbness in my little finger and the left half of my ring finger. I still have a cast on, which I didn't expect. To put it simply, typying is difficult enough when one is a self-taught, two-fingered touch/look-at-the-screen typist, doing it with just one hand makes an already slow process worse.
The sutures come out on Friday. Hopefully new posts soon after that.
