Ouch!!

It's impossible to work 12-15 hours a day with a pinched nerve in my typing arm and not sob with pain, so I finally gave it and scheduled surgery on the arm for August 20. They are going to do a standard carpal tunnel nerve release at my wrist and another release midway between the elbow and shoulder where the nerve is entrapped in a bony growth. I hope it works, because I'm about ready to either claw out the nerve or chop off the arm. No fun.
