APRIL 12 HAPPY EASTER

Apr 12, 2009

It's Easter Sunday, here is pic of me and my girls

so I had a great day today even though I'm dealing with this new issue, for the past few weeks my rt thumb area has been hurting but since i hv arthritis i don't pay attention to it. well it kept getting worse and by yesterday i could not move my thumb at all without excruciating tear causing pain. i am in pain alot you guys know that but this was the most incredible pain i cant even explain. from the joint in my thumb going up to my elbow. i couldn't move my hand or grab anything, the difficulty in even going to the bathroom made me call urgent care and thank God they did call me back and told me to go in. so i have de Quervain's Tenosynovitis, and since i cant take nsaids the doc gave me a cortisone shot and i bought a thumb splint i have to wear for 3-4 weeks. this is awful. ever try to put on nylons w one hand? can't even brush my teeth w my rt hand or comb my hair. dr said complete rest or it will just get worse. i am typing with my left hand and 1 finger on my rt. yes,i shouldn't be typing either but got to cmmunicate. i really need a break! but it didn't hamper my need to go get my dress yesterday (even though my hand was throbbing) and i went to  church today, pain, splint and all. :) so the days will continue,  this is just another thing to deal with.
excuse typos! as for eating on holiday no biggie went to lunch at PF Changs with my daughter had a little bit of here and there chinese food. then dinner was a little bit of pork chop and some potato salad. I'm doing ok with food but my weight is stuck stuck stuck! wedding is coming up have to fix this problem. i picked up my bridesmaid dress yesterday so here is how i look when i tried it on at Davids Bridal - desperately need proper undergarments!!
