Frigid Friday

Went to the hand Dr. yesterday, I have just what I thought, tendonitis in my thumb from the track ball mouse.( to many jigsaw puzzles on pogo while recovering from back surgery) I have to take 600 milligrams of Motrin(an antiinflamatory) and wear this very uncomfortable splint, return visit in 6 weeks. I went to physical thearapy today. I enjoy being in the pool but getting out and then going home semi-wet in 6 degree weather is just CRAZY COLD. It takes me hours to get warm. I feel better every time after. I feel like I am making progress with the help of my daily treadmill and other stretches I do at night, if I can just keep from falling I might be good as new by next August. How many days until the cruise? I am sure Dad is counting down!!!! I know saying "Enjoy the cruise is kinda silly who wouldn't" but have a great time anyway, and DON'T WORRY ABOUT EATING A DESSERT OR TWO, you will work it off running from those Gators at your new nature walk. Love to you, Dad, Aunt Flo & Don.

Glummy Tuesday

Hello Mom since you are the only one who reads this. I took Dakoda to the Dr. today for a check in for his meds. she wants to see him every 6 months. I had her look at my right hand, she is sending me to a hand doctor and his name is Dr. David Mitten how funny. She thinks it is tendonitis in my thumb and wrist. She said I will either get a special hand splint or maybe a cortizone shot. I choose the splint. I see that doctor on thursday. I am going to therapy every wednesday and friday which is helping if I can stop falling, I fell twice yesterday morning just trying to leave for work. I am glad I got my pain meds. and a heating pad. I am going to tell my therapist first thing when I get there in case she wants to change my exercises any. I am very sore though. I am trying to be more careful thats all I can do. thanks for listening or reading my rambling.

Eventful Day

Hi all who might read, I got clearance from the Dr. to be able to go back out in the field, so the office called me this morning to cover 3 cases, I went to 2 because I knew the clients from before my surgery, they were 2 of my regulars, and boy were they happy to see me. It really felt good to go to the clients house and helping them get ready for their day. I am not going to over do to much to fast.
I am up to 20 minutes on my treadmill, everyone is right it goes faster with music, I borrowed Ammandas MP3 player, we do not have the same taste in music but it has a radio so I listened to my kind of music. The kids and I are using the treadmill daily, I think that Dakoda is just having fun not really using it as a work-out, but at least he is trying.
