I am typing this one handed. I was starting to admire all those guys who mange to type single handed, until MIML™ pointed out that most of them just type ‘yes’ and ‘ooh’ and ‘oooh yeah’ and ‘woooooooow’ and ‘more tit’ and the like!
I had my ganglion cyst removed yesterday. It was probably the best general anaesthetic I have ever had- no nausea at all afterwards. I complained about the pain and was given pethidine. That drug rocks. Let’s just say it gave me the warm fuzzies.
So much I want to say, but it is hard with this limited typing. I looked for recovery stories on ganglion cyst removal and cam across not a lot, so I hope that I can share a bit so that people in the future having it done can see that it is not all the horror stories that are around at present- pain after 7 years, 8 weeks healing etc etc etc.
So far so good. The back of my hand is numb and the wrist hurts when I try and use it. I know it will be better when I can get back to pushups and boxing!
I have a heap of stuff people have given me to watch over the next week, but other suggestions would be appreciated too! I think Hero’s was on top of the list and True Blood or something.

[...] Almost 6 weeks ago I had a ganglion cyst removed from my wrist. I tried to do a fair bit of research before hand into recovery times, but there was little I could find. Most gave a rough estimate of 2-6 weeks. I figured it would be a simple procedure and I would be up and running, or at least using my wrist, in no time. [...]
