Decided not to be a Guinea Pig...

After taking into a number of reasons, I have decided not to go for the operations:

1.) I do not want a stiffer left hand
2.) I may not be able to play the piano/keyboard as fluently as before (for the few
songs which I know)
3.) I will have difficulty brushing my teeth since I can only effectively use my left
hand to brush my teeth albeit the fact that my right hand is the master hand.
4.) The entire consultantion made me feel like I am a medical research subject. One specialist called out to his counterpart and said "You need to look at this, this will excite you".

I was made to wait till they cleared all the patients for the morning clinic before they whizzed me off to a diagnostic imaging room where they said they have a new machine which does dynamic X-ray. I was pretty amazed by the state of technological advancement actually. As you rotate your hand, you will see the movement in X-ray format on the computer screen. Each movement can be recorded as a movie clip and be saved into a thumbdrive which can be uploaded to the database... Btw, X-rays are now taken and forwarded to the doctors' account in soft copies... Immense saving of resources...

They are going to cut half a tendon from somewhere on my wrist... drill 1-2 holes somewhere and make a 'tie-back'. Sounds like making wiring 'tie-backs' in Signals...

No, I shall not go... I have even imagine what I will do if I turn back at the 11th hour if I back out from the operations... I will push the anasthetist mask onto the face of the guy who is gg administering the anasthesia on me and run out... =)
