Re: Finally back after Surgery

Happy to have you back, Denise. Really happy to hear the surgery went okay. That's what's in store for me if these steroid shots don't do the trick any more. According to my doctor, I have "De Quervain Tenosynovitis" in both my wrists. It isn't especially painful, but more of a steady pain that never goes all the way away. But, you probably know how that feels already, so I'll shut up.

Welcome back.

Hey Bill....I had basal arthitis surgery of my left thumb. They remove the damaged bone then replace a tendon from your forearm to cushion the bones. Cast for five weeks, then they remove the pin and I go into a brace. Kinda long recoup but I had to do it. I had constant pain and I was dropping things all the time. But on an up note I've had time for my writing and am almost done with Forbidden Paradise. Have also put together a query package and have had some positive responce.....Fingers crossed....

Outstanding, Denise! Thinking positive thought for you from my soggy little bit of Ohio. The rain is fine, but it raises the humidity something awful.

I am hoping that my wrists won't go that far. The doc says it is a mild case and if I don't stress it too much it should be fine with an occasional shot. My last shot lasted four months before even a hint of pain came back. My right one is due for a shot now as it building up pain, especially in the morning. She gets that needle way down into the tendon sheath. Painful in itself, but that pain goes away on hours.
