Ugh, sorry Haj. We went through a lot of ear infections with one of our kids, and luckily avoided the more drastic measures. Here's hoping it clears up before Libby gets there.

As for my own medical status, I went to see a doctor about pain and lack of mobility in my right wrist where I had a bone graft surgery 22 years ago. He quickly confirmed that I have arthritis around the surgery location and told me I need surgery to fuse three bones together, insert some permanent pins, and shave down a fourth bone if I want to get rid of the pain and discomfort. Sadly, no miracle treatments have been found in the last two decades so that I could actually recover range of motion and strength, But if I do the surgery and wear a cast for 6 weeks then I can at least avoid further deterioration and pain. Fun times, but not really that big of a deal (especially in comparison to other issues discussed in this thread).

Surgery is always a big deal, and wearing a cast is a PITA. However it is better than the alternative. How soon do they want to get in there?

It should be just as easy as this:

I wanted a bionic hand at a minimum, but the death claw idea is rather appealing. The surgery can happen anytime, or not at all. I can also get a steroid injection as an alternative, but that is short-term at best. I am thinking sometime after February.
