It's Friday and I'm Celebrating The Small Things!
Celebrate
The Small Things is a weekly celebration where some bloggers have
decided to post about something worth celebrating...no matter how big
or small it is.
This week I'm celebrating this wacky looking brace on my hand, because it seems to be helping! So weird. It's made of a rigid plastic, and I find that wearing it around the clock was causing a bit of heat bump/hives to happen on my hand. So I stopped wearing it while I slept, and that seems to have done the trick. I can type easier, fold laundry, eat, and brush my teeth again! And I can even take care of bathroom duties (doodies LOL I stepped right into that one...ohhhhhh! I couldn't resist) again...with it off. It's the little things my friends!
Also, we went to my daughter's orthopedist this week for the results of her MRI. Her right (throwing) shoulder has been hurting since September and she hasn't progressed with her physical therapy the way she should have by now. The findings came back that she has NO tears or rips, and her shoulder looks like a healthy shoulder...so no surgery needed! This, of course, doesn't account for the pain that she's been struggling with, so we are seeing a shoulder specialist next week for a second opinion. Please keep her in your prayers!

So glad to hear that you're doing better (even if the brace is whacky). It's good to know there's nothing seriously wrong with your daughter, but I'll keep you in my prayers that her troubles disappear soon. All the best!

ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words Lori :) I'm still in shock that this brace is actually helping!
DeleteI'm happy to hear your hand is better, and I hope your daughter's shoulder stops hurting her. At least there's no surgery needed. Have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lexa! We are very relieved that she doesn't need surgery!

The new doc prescribed more PT and an ibuprofen regimen...hoping this makes a difference!
DeleteHi Katie - good to hear the brace is helping. Gosh, my shoulder pain came from a pinched nerve in my neck- hope things will work out for her and soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm off of blog hop this month due to craft orders, but I'll return. :))
Ouch! Pinched nerves are terrible! I'll see ya soon Dixie!
