Green Room - Week 30 - Day 9

[clauderainsrm]

We are waiting for the Gatekeepers to come to their final decisions, but that's not reason to sit around and do nothing. There are still entries to be read! http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/811500.htmlRead more... )

Clearly I need to step away from technology and GO DO SOMETHING ELSE so that results will post!!!!!

(But I will take my phone and hear each email come in and probably still occasionally refresh.)

And this one too! It's been far too long since I watched that show, actually.

oh man i LOVE that show and that season is my fave. (i feel like re-watching it now too!)

So...the wrist

[xo_kizzy_xo]

Got the cast taken off and my wrist looks the same as it did before.

This puzzles Hand Doc greatly, especially the swelling (it's on my pinky side, reckless_blues -- the break is where my ulna connects to the outermost wrist bones). Evidently the tear in the ligament that holds the ulna and radius together when you turn your wrist/arm/hand is still there. So...yeah, surgery. Eventually. They want to get the swelling down first so I got a cortisone shot. OMFG and I thought the pain in my knee was bad when I got one there. It doesn't even come close.

On the bright side they gave me the OK to try to go back to work. Decorating only if I can handle it. I've got to hammer all this out tomorrow with HR.

BTW, Methinks Gary is dragging out this waiting-for-the-Gatekeepers because he's Gary ;) In other words, I'm not a Gatekeeper, just in case anyone was wondering.

*hugs* Good luck.

Cortisone is awful. I don't even get shots -- mine is in pill form -- and it is Seriously Awful. :( *lots of hugs*

Pill form? I've never heard of it in pill form.

It works pretty well on my knee. I had one in my lower back many years ago which didn't take (I still have issues with it from time to time). But OMG, I never dreamed it'd hurt this badly. The hand doc said I'd be cursing his name come tomorrow. I believe it!

:hugs:

It's possible I'm misremembering, it's been a year since I've had to have it. But there's a pill-form steroid for breathing that they use if I have a major flare-up. (Along with the cough medicine that I'm allergic to, which might also be why I remember those weeks with extreme prejudice.) (Also neither of them work super well, really, although the steroid is better than the cough syrup.)

The "expand" button is mimicking the behavior of the "thread" button. O.o
