So, my wrist has been bothering me for about 6 weeks. My doctor had me wear a wrist brace, then a thumb brace - but neither worked. So I had to go see a specialist and he gave me a cortizone shot. They think I have tendonitis but it's not just like everyone else's tendonitis symptoms so they really aren't sure. Those who don't know, I get light headed really easily and I HATE shots. I feel like a little kid but I dont care! So he came in to give it to me and I asked to lay down so I didn't pass out. If you look at your wrist on the insides there is a bone that sticks out. He put the shot into the bone! It hurts a little up from the bone on an indent part of my wrist, but he said...and I quote..."I know it hurts you here (the indent) but I'm going to put the shot into the bone here (and points to the bone) because that is where it hurts most people." Um???Hello? Is it just me or is that the dumbest thing you have ever heard? So, anyways, I have to wear a new brace for two more months...Did I mention I already wore it over one month? So over three months total and it is a pain in the ass.
One more story about it. I was in the faculty room, at work (these are teachers - just so you feel good about the education of your children) and a teacher is talking to me about how she had this same thing before and she has had carpal tunnel. Then another teacher asked, "what is wrong?" She probably wasn't listening so I kindly said, "tendonitis." Here is the kicker...then she said, "oh, is it in your wrist or your elbow?" Um...here's your sign? haha. Look at the pic and see if you can tell if it is in my wrist or my elbow. hahaha. Reminder - yes, this was a teacher.
At least my nails look good!

Your nails do look good!:) It was good seeing you this weekend! Oh by the way I saw that you recommend the twilight series. I am reading them-OH MY GOD so addicting! I am almost finished with the second book and I started the first book on March 1st. I seriously can't put it down. Anyway lets make Easter weekend fun even though we will be at the dunes. You will love my girls that hang out there. They are lots of fun!
Hey girlie - I know, I've slacked on updating, but I have been swamped at work - I have 91 hours on this next check, so I haven't had time. All I have been doing is working. I go back at the end of this month for another conference. We will have to try and hang out soon though. This weekend I am busy, the next week is Easter, I leave the following weekend, then it's Jeff's birthday, then my bro is getting married. The next month is going to be crazy for me, but we'll plan something, even if we have to do it in the middle of the week. :)
