Hi everyone. I had my appointment yesterday at the orthopedic clinic to see the surgeon who operated on my wrist. I had x-rays done and I thought I was doing quite well actually, doing dishes, putting laundry away, squeezing toothpaste and a whole bunch of other daily chores even chopping and cutting up stuff in the kitchen. And, I was hoping not to have to go back again! But, I was wrong! Lol. I found out that my right wrist is not quite as strong as my left one! The doctor put a piece of paper between my thumb and index finger, and yep? He was able to take it away quite easily, even though I thought I was hanging on to it for dear life! Lolololol. Then, I had to squeeze his finger first with one hand and then the other. The same thing happened. I guess I still have to work up the strength in my right wrist in order for me to be back to normal. So, he says he wants to see me in another month. But, that will depend on when they book me. It could be 6 weeks from now. And I was there for 3 hours! My appointment was for 2:15 and I didn't get out of there till after 5. All that waiting was just a pain. And my friends who took me, I hated like hell to put them out, but, they left for a doctor's appointment, for 4:30, but they came back to get me to take me home of course. Oh and in the meantime, there was a fire drill or the alarm went off, and my poor friends had to walk down 7 flights of stairs because the elevators didn't work at the time of the alarm going off. And then, of course, there were I don't know how many firetrucks approaching the hospital. Needless to say, it was a long afternoon. On the way home, we stopped so I could pick up some KFC for supper. My wrist still hurts to type for a long period of time. I still have to do wrist exercises to get the strength back in my wrist.
Guess I'll just keep on keepin' on. Take care everyone. Hugs to you all.
