call me therapy girl

[bertine]

so, not only go i go to therapy for my head once every two weeks but now i am in therapy for my hand.

i sort of feel weird about this, but it looks like my hand might actually get better. so they are using ultrasounds to breakup the scar tissue and they made a cast for me to wear when i can (it slides off) to stretch out the tendons. i over extend that finger so i am supposed to watch that. the goal is to get it 20% straighter in 4 weeks of treatment so it doesn't hurt as much. the cast is cute, i should make you all sign it. HA.

vacation in like 18 days. OMG!!

I really recommend glitter for your cast. Oh glitter and shiny things...

[bertine.livejournal.com]

i love glitter. the problem is that i get a new cast twice a week so i don't want to put too much work into it.

:(

Leave your condo unlocked so I can use the bathroom and not have to use those horrible port-a-toilet things. ;)

i would if i could but everyone in the building would get upset. may day is one of those times everyone is tense at the building.

I must be brain dead... what happened to your hand? Did I miss this post, or has babybrain attacked again?

[perviepom.livejournal.com]

Hey I missed it too and I have no baby as an excuse!

see my response to sharya

Have you been taking politics classes :P

I see, I thought you had carpal tunnel or rsi there for a minute. I hope it's all going well.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

rsi?

actually the doctor said i had no signs of carpal tunnel, which is good.

[perviepom.livejournal.com]

Repetitive strain injury that people often get from being on computers too much.

Carpal tunnel scares me.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

ah, i know what that is, i just didn't get it. ha.

it scares me too, actually my hand scared me a little too because it hurt so much sometimes. it hurts right now but they said it would after the ultrasound thing. who knew that would cause pain?

[bertine.livejournal.com]

lol. it is something that happened a long time ago, when i was a kid, the tendons in my little finger of my right hand are messed up and too short so i can't straighten my finger. this means i hold it wrong and it hurts because of that. so we are trying to fix that.

maybe i didn't talk about it much, most people don't notice it in person either.

You have to show everyone what therapy you have to do for that hand of yours....
