Here we are in our broadness. It’s ok.
The doc didn’t scream at me for which I will be forever grateful. I did get an eye appointment, and G will
drive as I can’t after dilating. Got the
new red frames tho. The orthopedic doc
wasn’t happy with all of me. I wasn’t
happy with me either as both the GP and I forgot to ask for a referral about my
annual hip check up.
So my shoulder is a fixable entity. He gave me a cortisone shot for my rotator
cuff tendonitis and a referral for PT.
Maintenance will keep that as good as new. My wrists are another matter. My very common arthritic thumbs will need
more than cortisone and PT. Once again,
surgery. The left first….a simple
surgery referred to the other Ortho guy who did my trigger finger release.
The pictures show the end of the thumb bone has slipped out
of its cradle. Though I wear a brace all
the time, my body has produced a row of little bone spurs to hold it in place. Ditto the right thumb. Even tho they say it is a simple fix, this is
the third surgery on this hand. I have
grown wary after the problems I had at the hospital with the hip.
I have hope of becoming the first left handed, bionic
blogger though. Smiling all the way.
Oh, my we do have to adjust to changes, don't we. Good luck with the hand.
ReplyDeleteI love that photo of the both of you. So much love there. So sorry for your shoulder and hand. I'm having tendinitis too. It's aggravating. I'm tired of hearing it's the aging process even though I know it's true.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. You do not look in pain, but ready to face the world. They tweak and they twac and I am hoping that it increases your movement and reduces any pain.
ReplyDeleteI will come visit you and make you tea!
ReplyDeleteGolly, I hope you know a good vegan place. I am still doing this WW thing and learning how to walk again. That is walk a straight line....
ReplyDeleteThis does not sound like a fun prognosis.
