Default RE: surgery tomorrow

ORIGINAL: dustyr

Just found out that I have to be at the hospital at 5:45 IN THE MORNING Geez

Although I'd rather it be done as early as possible . . . it ain't even opening day

Wife is not here at the moment - lunch date with a friend She sure as hell is not going to be pleased about this (she is not a morning person)

I'm not so much concerned about the surgery itself . . . but they are going to put a nerve block in place prior to the surgery itself. It's called an "interscalene nerve block" - something I never heard of before. I probably should have not researched what that was, or more specifically, the procedure to put it in place I'm more apprehensive about that than the surgery itself

Guess the best I can hope for is that all of this will allow to me to go back to work

What can I do to get my mind off of tomorrow?
1. Do some shooting? naw - hurt too much when I did that last week
2. Clean the Bobcat sidelock (again)? Not a problem, but I can't make that last that long. Besides, I want to reblue it and don't want to leave it bare metal for the next couple of weeks.

hmmmmmmmmmm . . . anyone got any ideas?
i had that nerve thing and i did not work.

best thing for your back is lay on floor and pull you knee to your chest.

in car, roll up towel and put it behind your lower back.

thompson reblued my barrel for me and it came out real nice.
