Jared's Carpel Tunnel

Ok, this might be more than anyone wants to see, but several people have asked to see these pictures of Jared's surgery.

The top left is Jared's carpel tunnel before the surgery. You can see the white colored ligament along the top.

The top right is where they are cutting the ligament open to allow more room in the carpel tunnel for the nerves and thus relieving the pain.

The bottom two are views from each side when the surgery is done.

Jared is doing pretty well. He stayed home another day to make sure he can handle the pain on just Tylenol and Advil instead of the prescription pain meds.

Who's idea was it to put the GI Joe theme song on your blog? It's um, cool. sorta. I guess... strange maybe. but cool.

Um, that would be Jared. We had a bit of fun reminiscing about childhood and teen years while choosing songs. This might be apparent when you look at the collection we have.

I did put my foot down though and made Jared create his own playlist on his laptop for all his Weird Al songs!
