This is never going to end... Mood
Saturday, June 14, 2008

I guess I should update....although I don't feel like it...for more than one reason.  Anywho...here goes.

 

The OT appt was a joke...other than getting a brace/splint specially made so that it does not contact or agrivate the spot on my wrist that causes extreme numbness in my hand.  I GUESS it helps...at least it's not hurting...other than it's really hard to anything without the use of my thumb (the splint makes it that I can't move it at all).  They gave me a few sheets of paper to read, all about "ergonomics"...all of it about posture and how things are supposed to be at a DESK.  OMG....I always make sure my posture and hand postition is right when I'm at the computer!  WAY back when, when all the CTS and all that computer-related injuries starting being a huge thing, I made myself do things at the computer the correct way.  I don't do it wrong...and sitting at the computer is NOT what caused WHATEVER is wrong with me.

 

I guess they think that I have Tennis Elbow and Carpel Tunnel Syndrome.  Ok sure...whatever, you're the "expert"...no one but the PT is talking about TOS...

 

I can't get through to the neurologist to schedule an appointment.  I've left 4 messages...no return call.  Walking back to the meat department and asking them to just hack it off might have been a joke...but at some points it feels like it might be the only solution to the issue.  grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

My regular PT is now gone.  I guess she was on some sort of temp thing...anyway, the other one seems okay...he's much less intrusive, which in some ways will be good, but in others, not.  Like for the massage?  We'll see.

 

Monday is absolutely my LAST day as a cashier.  Either they get me a new job (with enough hours), or I'm walking out.  I'm done feeling attached to the people or the job (the place, that is)...I won't subject myself to this anymore...no more PUTTING myself in the position to cause more damage and pain.

 

Okay so...I'll update "treatments" (gotta new pill), and on my goals...and then I think I'll have a bit of my favorite pain killer....RUM!
