Oh, balls.

I am NOT getting early migraine hints twenty minutes before the cable guy is set to arrive.

THIS IS NOT ON, BODY.  DO YOU HEAR ME? I REPEAT: THIS IS NOT ON.

Dammit.

eta: three tylenol and some very hot, very strong keemun MIGHT HAVE KNOCKED IT BACK. MAYBE.  godihopeso.

1. I had another PT appointment today and got some excellent news-- mobility has improved 50% in one joint and 65% in another. Painful stretchy exercises may be painful, but are also EFFECTIVE. I will likely complain less about them now.

2. My favorite uncle, to whom I am very close and who is also my godfather had a biopsy last week (my family ( Read more... )

The good news: I GOT MY SPLINT OFF FRIDAY! And I started physical therapy. And I am ONE STEP CLOSER TO GETTING MY HAND BACK.

The bad news: The PT exercises I have to do hurt like a motherfucker. Seriously, by the time I did my final round of exercises (I have a page of them, and they are to be done 6-8 times a day), I just wanted to cry. ( Read more... )

This is bound to be short because the way my splint holds my finger now is so totaly NOT keyboard friendly. I have to turn my right hand to the side and type with my ring finger. Fun times! It is both frustrating and kind of weirdly exhausting. So here's what's going on:

Surgery was Thursday, and it went as well as can be expected, considering it was, you know, SURGERY.

I hung out for about fifteen minutes before George arrived and ( Read more... )

Surgery: Three days and counting ( Read more... )

Surgery: Six days and counting.  My handwriting has really, really gone to crap lately.  Wow.  Granted, pretty soon it won't matter, as I won't even be able to hold a pen.

And in other news I discovered a maple flavored black tea that has made me reconsider my opinion on flavored black teas.

And in other OTHER news, I would like very much for this ( Read more... )

T minus 17 days and counting until surgery.

I feel like a pretty huge wimp complaining about this stuff, especially when folks on my f-list have had far, far worse health problems, and deal with far worse pain than this.  And I really think the thing that aggravates me worse than the pain and stiffness is the fact that I really, really hate having ( Read more... )

I hurt my hurty finger making lunch today and now have it taped to my middle finger, all wrapped up in sports tape.  At least until it stops huting to touch it.  (Swear to god, last time anything hurt this bad.... it was this same finger, actually. I SAW STARS IT HURT SO BAD.)

I am starting to get an idea of how much fun typing is going to be when ( Read more... )
