51: De Quervain Tenosynovitis 

De Quervain Tenosynovitis ,  well that is a mouth full! I had my appointment with the Orthopedist on Monday and that is what is causing all my pain!  I received a cortisone shot in the joint space and my wrist/thumb was placed in this lovely immobilizer. I am to wear this contraption for six weeks preventing movement of wrist and use of thumb. IF after the six week period condition is not improved, surgery will be an option! Hummmm, the challenge for me will be resting it……six weeks…..really?

I have a couple of weeks before I see my Oncologist, so I won’t know the results of my CT scan till then. This is going to be a short post, just to update you on my wrist condition, kind of awkward typing not using left thumb ! 

Best news yet is the fact that our medical coverage did not change and I am able to keep all my current doctors. For those of you that read my last post, there was a possibility that our insurance coverage was going to change. It was a blessing and a huge relief when I found this out……was truly worried. 

Thank you for reading my blog😊
