Lame Update

This will just be a quick update because I'm tired and my left wrist hurts (since now it has to do everything). Last night I took my first dose of Follistim 200 IU. Today I already felt a lot more emotional and on the verge of tears (but this could have more to do with my father driving me crazy than with the hormones!). Today I also had my appointment with the hand surgeon who saw me last week at the Hospital for Joint Diseases. He removed my splint, took some x-rays, and put a more permanent cast on my arm. It's a pretty blue color, and I can actually get it wet, although it will take 3 hours to dry, so I'm not sure how often I want to do that! I'm supposed to continue to rest and keep it elevated for a couple of days, but then I can start using that hand more. Of course my thumb is immobilized, which means I can't grasp anything, but I guess I can use my fingers a bit. I'll be back to see him in 5 weeks to have the cast removed. Other than that, there was the usual BS with the insurance, which I don't really feel like posting about. Right now I'm just tired, and my wrist hurts. Thank goodness tomorrow I don't have to go anywhere! I'mplanning on taking it easy and relaxing before my next appointment with Dr. M on Thursday.
