It seems good nutrition some luck was on my side last week. After I woke up from the general antistetic, Dr. Linn informed me that he did not have to go for a donor ligament as mine was not deteriorated or damaged in anyway and he simply had to staple the torn off end back to the bone. It still hurts and will still be 8 weeks for full recovery but it was nice to learn that for what ever reason my ligament was health and strong and ready to go back to work.

I had to lay very low all weekend as pain and swelling were factors, but one thing I did not expect was that 6 hours ofter the operation I was sitting in a recliner. I suddenly had a unique experience where I had some sort of nerve reaction where my entire lower abdominal area fired up and had an rhythmic popping or adjustment of sorts that instantly stopped a dull series of pain I had been experiencing for the past 2 years. I suspect that the tensegrity (“Tensegrity” derives from collapsing the words “tension” and “integrity” and means that the integrity of these class of structures depends on the balance of tension within it) of my bodies energy was compromised when I had this high speed ski crash 2 years ago. After having the thumb repaired my body has been able to correct some of the many damages, physical and neurological, that occurred that March day at Lake Louise.
I am only starting to understand this concept, but I must say that after 2 years of looking for a solution to my many aches and pains, this is the first time I have come across an explanation that fits all the pieces. I do understand all things are connected and now I am experiencing what that can mean first hand. More to come

There is a link between hypermobility and chronic abdominal pain. Perhaps the thumb injury occurred because it was hypermobile?
In one study about 1/2 of people with unexplained chronic abdominal pain had hypermobility issues – perhaps the bowel just bounces on food rather than propelling things forward.
I wrote about it here:http://painmuse.org/?p=1015 and would be interested in knowing if people think it really is that prevalent…
