THUMB UPDATE

Hi. I saw the hand therapist yesterday, and he was great. He made a cool split for my thumb, which will keep it still so the tendon can have a chance to decrease in swelling. He was honest with me and said that only about 40 percent of his patients get better, but I figure I have a really good shot because I'm doing all the other stuff, like the tumeric, cod liver oil, magnesium, etc. The thumb is actually starting to hurt right now, but it's been good for a while. It's actually almost 4 a.m. and I've been working on the computer since about 8 p.m., which is why it's starting to hurt. I do stop and stretch it while I'm working.

While I was in the medical building, I stopped by Pioneer Women's Health to make an appointment for my yearly gynecological exam. Nice that both offices were in the same building. You may remember that last fall -- October 8 to be exact -- I had my ovaries removed. The previous year, you may also remember, just two days before breast surgery, I had to have a uterine biopsy due to an abnormal pap. It would be lovely to have a normal pap this year so I don't have to have another biopsy. At least at this point there is no need to worry about ovarian cancer, which is how my mother died. Ain't no ovaries. I have an appointment on December 8.

Ciao,
Sue

40% sounds promising, especially when you factor in all of your efforts. Hope the swelling stays down.
