A Quick Update

Just a quick update to say I'm still here, just not very crafty lately. I have been having problems with my hands and wrists for some time and finally gave in and saw a doctor about them who sent me to an orthopedic specialist. Long story short, I have arthritis (which I suspected), carpal tunnel, and to add insult to injury, tendinitis in both wrists. I had a EMG on Monday (what a strange test...reminded me of the feeling putting your tongue on a 9V battery produced as a kid) I go back to the ortho guy on Friday and will see what comes next.

Oh my gosh, Lori. I'm sorry for all your pain. I had tendenitis once and gosh, it was painful. I can imagine how much pain you are going through. HOpe you can find relief and be pain free!

Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day!
