Great News! (UPDATED with more good news)

I can wait till December to get my hand reconstructed! It was going to be next week. The trick is they are going to monitor the ligaments every month and assuming I wear a brace at night we can hold off till the holidays when we have more down time. We have one more big surgical question mark, which will be my neck. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!! I do not know this one but I'm hoping we can get through therapy and time. We see the neurologist tomorrow.



I need this time to heal. I'm fried and so everyone else under this roof. So assuming everything goes well I will have my hand reconstruction the second week of December when life is as slow for the company as it is going to get. I'm going to get my shoulder cast off in 2-4 wks. I will be spending my summer swimming with my critters. Maybe taking a class or two for fun, and get strong again. Maybe if I can steak Chris away, just maybe, even a quick jaunt to my ocean. It is going to be a FABULOUS b/c let's be honest I've had a tough first half of the year and we are due for some good stuff.

GREAT UPDATE: Neck surgery for damaged disks is also going to be put on hold. We all agreed my body has been through so much and since the pain blocks are working well at this point lets see how I react to physical therapy and than decide what route to take. I hope I'm making good decisions. At this point I'm trying to just give my body time. It has gone through so much and I need just a physical and emotional break.

  1. My friend Job. That is you. Trials and faith and optimism. I laugh that you call the second week of December your "down time." For most other people, that is their busiest time of year! I hope you can get away, and more than that, that everything with your neck will turn out for the best. Love you!
