Tuesday, Day #27
Friends and Family,
Happy Tuesday, day number 27 in this journey. Yesterday was my day with the ortho doc to see what is going on with my left hand. Well, I guess my self diagnosis was wrong and the doc says the ulnar nerve is damaged but not because of attempts to start a new I.V. He say this type injury occurs most in folks who are in bed alot. He says that laying propped up on your elbows or using your elbows to manuver in bed. I reckon I fall in that category as the surgery left my stomach muscles too sore to use to pull myself up. Anyway, I have a topical steroid cream and a steroid pack to take over the next six days and a pad to wear over this nerve area of my arm. Can't really tell any difference yet but am hopeful it will get better soon.
Had a good day yesterday and slept pretty good last night too. Maybe I have just learn to live with this catheter? I am hopeful it can be removed tomorrow but refuse to get amped up about just in case it doesn't happen.
Looks like it is gonna be a rainy day in Charlotte today? Good thing I didn't have plans to work outside today huh?
Remember to pray for all those who are sick and hurting, pray for each other too. Thank you for your prayers for me and mine....and for taking this journey with me...you're the best!
I Love You All................ "Thank You Lord for Your blessings on Me"
