Double crush

The doctor thinks the pain is coming from a pinched nerve in my neck. He said carpal tunnel stops about mid-way up the arm and doesn't radiate to the shoulder like mine. He touched a spot on my neck and I almost came up out of the chair it hurt so bad.

So...

He gave me some neck exercises to do for the next few weeks. He said if it isn't better after the holidays to give him a call and he'll do an MRI on my wrist, arm, and neck to look at the nerves.

I asked him if there was a possibility I could have a pinched nerve and carpal tunnel. He said "Yes. You may have what we call a Double Crush."

Sounds lovely, huh?

I'm going to start those exercises tonight, and also make an appointment with a chiropractor to see if they could possibly work out the issues with my neck. At least things are happening... slowly, but happening.

Can't take it any more

I'm going to the doctor today to have my arm looked at. My carpal tunnel is getting worse and I need some relief.

The other day I had pain radiating from in between my fingers all the way to my shoulder. Today I was holding my coffee mug and my arm started aching.

I don't know what the doctor can do for it. I don't know how the surgery (if that is an option) would help. I'm sure all he can do is give me a better brace and prescribe some sort of mild pain killer. That is fine... I just know that I hurt and I want him to help me out.

So sorry

I really hate it when I've got nothing to say.

I want to tell you things, but nothing seems that important or necessary right now. Things are happening and there are stories to tell, but I can't seem to get them written. I'm in a lull.

Sorry.

Do you have any questions? Maybe that will give me inspiration...

7 things meme

My dad started it and Coffee Table did it after him. I thought I would take a chance and ask Carl. I asked him to tell you 7 things about me that you don't know. He doesn't like to type so I am sitting at the computer and will type while he tells me what to say.

I'm scared...

1. She is the smartest person I know.
2. She is beautiful and caring.
3. She will go above and beyond for a friend.
4. She has lost a lot of weight and became more active.
5. She likes to play Guild Wars more than anything in the world.
6. She cares a lot about work. She takes her time to do it right.
7. She worries way TOO much about money.

That wasn't so bad. He's a man of few words, huh?

Thank you, honey. That was sweet of you to do.

A meme about me

I've been tagged by my dear cousin. If you'd like to know more about me, read on. If not, see ya...

The Rules

1. Post the rules before you give your answers.

2. List one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name. If you don't have a middle name, use your maiden name or your mother's maiden name.

3. At the end of your blog post, tag one person (or blogger of another species) for each letter of your middle name. Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged.

My middle names is Sherice (pronounced Sha-Reese). I don't know where mom got it but I think it's kinda pretty. Try livin' life with TWO unusual names!

S: I'm sarcastic. No, really. I am. I think I got it from my dear ol' dad, but Mom can be pretty sharp tounged too. (is that a word?)

H: I'm a hopeless romantic. I love flowers, surprises, holding hands... all that sweet, mushy romantic stuff.

E: Evenings are my favorite time of day. I love getting home, taking off my shoes, and settling in to hear what the kids have to say. Getting up in the morning SUX and then working all day is awful. Next time I'm marrying for MONEY. (like there will ever BE a next time)

R: I, like my cousin, have a racy sense of humor. Hang around my family for any length of time and you WILL be offended at least once. Laughter is my favorite sound though, so if I can get a laugh (or chuckle) out of you by telling a dirty joke then so be it.

I: I recently found out that I am truly part Irish. Some of my ancestors came to the US from Ireland before the Civil War. They lived in Alabama, but I'm not going to claim that part of my heritage.

C: I like to cuss. Alot. I try to temper it around the kids, but they've heard the f-bomb a time or two in their lifetime. The best time to hear my cussing prowess is in the car. If I'm alone and you make me mad - trust me, I'd make a sailor blush.

E: One of my dreams is to visit England. I love everything British... their humor, accents, history... I wish I could live there for a while and soak up all they have to offer. Some day I'll get over there... you can bet your bippie.

Alright. That's it. Now I am supposed to tag 7 people. Hmmmm... who will they be?

1. Biddie
   
2. CindyDianne
3. Valerie
4. Nikki
   
5. TrukinDog
6. Burfica
7. Whatever Girl
