Hey! I've had surgery on my right wrist before, I think when I was 12? I broke the bone straight through (arm bone, but it was right at the wrist).. so I had to get surgery to get pins in. Don't worry about the surgery. I actually liked it, it was fun. They put in an IV, it doesn't really hurt anymore than a little pinch, then lay you down on a bed, and inject a little vial of liquid into the IV lines, which makes you really loopy. When i was getting wheeled down to the surgery room, it looked like the lights on the ceiling blurred into one big light, and it was really cool to watch. Anyways, after you're in there, they'll tell you about what they're going to do, and then give you another sedative. At that time they told me to count backwards from 10 (HAHA! I MADE IT to Zero!!!)... and you'll eventally pass out. So, waking up isn't too bad, just try not to push yourself. The oxygen mask is a little hot and stuffy (and itchy) but eh, don't worry. I took mine off before the nurse came into the room to check on me, and I was fine, but you probably shouldnt. They should give you lots to drink, since you're really thirsty when you come out of it.
After effects, well, I have arthritis in my wrist, but it doesn't really affect my drawing, or if it does, it's usually from holding the pencil funny or drawing for a long time, but mostly it hurts from carrying heavy things all day (coffee pots)... Ah, plus you can't write for a month, and be prepared to not get the cast wet. I would reccoment asking them for a firbreglass cast, since those (ableit a little more expensive) tend to last longer, and dont fall to pieces from palm sweat. Ah, and be warned, it's going to STINK under there, not to mention itch like crazy.
Well, in all, don't be worried about the surgery, and I probably have arthritis because they were putting the bone back together, not fixing an already exisiting problem... you should be fine smile
