So it continues

2 hours at the doctors today. 2 hours and what do I get out of it.

NO I cannot use weights at the gym yet. Two more weeks and PT before that. Then I will have to start with the tiny ones ... which I had figured and work up again. They are afraid I will hurt myself by doing something I am not supposed to or if I fall over I would break that elbow again that is not quite healed. Dang it.

NO you are expressing signs of carpal tunnel when you are speaking but when we fold your hand back on your arm or tap on this one spot repeatedly you are not acting like you have carpal tunnel ... normally with a gun in the holster right now we would be dead from the annoyance and pain we could create. SO SORRY but nothing is ever normal in my world. I am just a bit freaking tired of that you know ... some normalcy would be nice. Trip on nothing and break an elbow, carpal tunnel flares up but is it that, manage to take gouge out of one finger with another finger and leave a trail of red all over the place before I realize what has happened and then two band aids later ... damn it I would love NORMAL.

NO I cannot have a quick fix solution to my hand. I must now go to a nerve specialist and have them run the tests. Attempt the less aggressive stretching, sleeping with brace on, B6 supplements and then if there is no change possibly cutting the damn sheath around the carpal tunnel (hence the name for the syndrome). I understand that the cut will potentially lose 25% of strength in the hand but maybe I am fine with that. 

NO I cannot have an excuse to get out of work for the rest of the year with pay so that I could find another job so that I could have two paychecks.

So here is to nothing productive for the day. Oh and BCBS has to approve these before they can be scheduled. I am done for the day ....

See ya
