I am going into the hospital Tuesday night for surgery on my severely damaged left ulna nerve. I have problems with it since March and it is causing my hand to be numb with pins & needles and cold all the time. I cannot grip anything with my left hand, I can't even pick up a glass of water. It makes it almost impossible to sew not to mention typing. I will be in the hospital for 1 1/2 days and then home for at least 3 weeks. I can't drive or anything as my arm will be strapped to my stomach in a harness so I can't pull out the stitches/staples in the incision. I will be checking this site and my mail, but don't know how much I will be responding to things. I will do all I can to keep in touch with y'all. It all depends on how I feel. I'm not a real religeous person, so if I could as that you keep me in your thoughts beginning Wednesday morning, I would appreciate it. I'll keep you posted on how I am doing. Flower and Hugs to all of you!!!!! Eric
