I had my return trip to the surgeon this week. It seems like it has taken forever to get the results from the EMG test. Good news and of course bad news. I hate to whine but it seems I can't have good without some bad too. At least it isn't all bad. That is a really good thing!
The assistant came in first and told me the test results. I have Prorator Teres Syndrome and Ulnar Neuropathy. I also have mild Carpal Tunnel Syndrome but that isn't anything new. I have had that for years. I can live with that. The Teres Syndrome is driving me nuts though. It interrupts my sleep and anything done using my arms causes pain and or numbness. The good news is it has nothing to do with my neck or the surgery that I had. That is all healing good.
When the Surgeon came in he explained that it is an unusual condition and that this was not his field of expertise. So he referred me to a different specialist. Back to a hand Doctor I saw a few years ago. I have an OLD hand injury that I tried to have repaired about 6 years ago. This is the same Doctor I used for that. He is one of the best in the Tulsa area so I hope he can help.
Okay, enough of that.
This is my short week so I will have Friday off. It has been a few weeks since I have worked a 10 hour days and I am feeling the extra hours. I worked extra Monday to cover the time I would be off at the doctor's office, then there was a Supervisor's meeting that I had to attend today so I have already worked 33 hours this week. Just 7 more hours and my week will be done. It is worth it to have a three day weekend.
I haven't been out taking pictures in several days. I have wanted too. The spirit wants, but time and energy haven't been there. Speaking of pictures another one of my daughter's friends wants me to take some photos for them. This is a hard rock group that is getting ready to release an album and they want something for the album cover. I hope I can do good enough that they can use one of my pictures. I have several ideas already but I want to talk to them and get some more info on the band and the members. It would also be good to know the name of the album.
That might give me some ideas.
This is going to be fun.
There is nothing worse than being in constant pain. I must admit that I haven't suffered from this myself but my wife has. Having seen what she went through, I can sympathise with your situation. Fortunately for her, an operation sorted the problem out. I hope things work out for you.
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting project you have; taking a photograph for an album cover. You will have to update your blog on how you get on. Very exciting.
How exciting for you to do a photo for the album cover! It will be interesting to see what you do. I was thinking of asking you to take Jacob's Senior pictures this fall. Pretty please? Maybe at Woodward park??
ReplyDeleteJack - It isn't much fun. I hope this new pain can be fixed without surgery. It is getting old being gimpy.
ReplyDeleteLisa - I would love to take Jacob's Sr. pictures! There are so many great places and we can go to more than one. I look forward to it!
