THUMB UPDATE

Good morning. Unless it's my imagination, the trigger thumb is coming back. Usually in the morning, the symptoms are a bit worse, but after I'm up and about they subside for the most part. Let's see what happens today. Right now, upon awakening, my right thumb is sticking a bit when I bend it down. There is a definite "click" or trigger when I bend it down. The left thumb I cannot straighten fully. This is how it all began the first time. I want to be sure to document all these changes so I can tell my oncologist in detail how things began if indeed the trigger thumb is returning. It's hard for me to believe that after only two days back on the medication, the problem would return so quickly, but who knows. I'm glad I'm seeing the orthopedist on Monday. It's lovely outside this morning. Very snowy like a in storybook. I'm going to go back to sleep. I just wanted to get this on record.

On a happier, distinctly more fun note, tomorrow night I'll be going to Greenfield Savings Bank's Annual Dinner, which has Mardi Gras as its theme, so I'm conjuring up a creative costume. I already have a couple masks and long shiny blue gloves and beads, but I don't know what I'm going to wear otherwise. I'm going as D's guest. Looking forward to it. Then on Sunday I'm singing at a retirement community with members of Amandla Chorus. Should be a good weekend.

Have a great day.

Sue
