If you read my post called Hand, then you know I had a minor surgery on my left hand that resulted in nerve damage. If you didn’t read it, now you know. I am still having nerve blocking treatments every couple of weeks. Last Friday was the day I had my last shot. In the long run, it makes my hand feel much better; however, for several days after, I am unable to use my hand. In fact, I’m not even writing this. I am actually dictating over the phone to a friend who will email it to me.

I just wanted to let people know about my absence on Twitter and FB, etc. In the second picture, you can see how swollen my hand is. It is still the same size today as it was on Friday. Fortunately, nerves do regenerate (so they tell me). It’s looking like, if I’m lucky, the best Christmas gift will be a healthy hand (shhhh, don’t tell my husband).

I’m hopeful I will be able to type again within the next few days, and I will respond to all of my messages. So that is the update on my hand. Oh, and for all of you horror flick junkies, here is the scrap book of my hand’s progress.

Thanks Jessi K, for typing this so that I can take my own advice and share my update with my readers.

Thank you for reading! Keep writing, and I should be able to rejoin you in a day or two. (knock on wood)

  • Nerve damage is a pain!!! I feel for you. My daughter had serous nerve damage to a foot, when her 300+ lb boy stepped on her foot. It took several years for the dtr to get damage under control.

    As you might guess, the 300+ lb boy friend is no longer on the scene. He's been replaced by another fellow. :)
  • Thanks everyone! I'm on the mend, typing is still a slow process.
