Disabled.
It’s interesting the littlest things and how they are so easily taken for granted. Especially if you’re young and lucky and occasionally people tell you that you’re beautiful.
Today was a different kind of morning.
From the moment I pushed myself up from the bed, turned the doorknob of my bedroom, stretched my pajama’s over my head, reached for soap, grabbed a towel and tried to brush the hair from my eyes, I felt pain.
Today I went to the doctor’s for an evaluation. So far there is no confirmation on if I have carpal tunnel or not, at the least I’m listed as being on modified duty and limited to typing for 4 hours only a day. Acute tendonitis. Finger/Hand/Wrist/Arm.
With wrist braces on both hands and a bag full of 3 types of medicine.
The rest of the day I’ve spent wondering how I could continue to live my life as a marketing professional, also as a free lance writer and one who is perpetually attached to the computer in one form or another… how; if this got worse and became trully debilitating… how I’d live and the type of changes and decisions I’d have to make.
Perhaps that sounds a bit dramatic… after all with therapy and meds, the inflamation could go down…it could get better. And yeah, I know.. I shouldn’t be typing this now.
Day to Day Pain: 800MG Ibuprofren…
Excrutiating Pain: 500 MG Hydrocodone aka Vicadin
For Sleep: 350 MG Carisoprodol
I’ll probably take a break from blogging for a while as a result.
Don’t take it personally if I don’t respond to emails for a while.
