Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me....

 

 

Hello friends!  I hope you have all been doing well and enjoying your Spring.   Several of my bloggin' buddies have emailed me asking where I have been.  Unfortunately, I have been battling  severe carpal tunnel syndrome.  I had the nerve test (EMG) performed last week on my hands and feet.  (I am diabetic so the doctor wanted to check my feet too.)   I was really nervous about the test because I had been told it was painful.   Seems I was told wrong.  It was not just painful -- it was torture!  I was sore for three days afterward and could barely move my hands and feet.  I have an appointment tomorrow to see the doctor.   So -- for those reasons -- I have not been crafting much lately.  I really am depressed about it.  I have so many projects that I wanted to finish.  I was in the middle of making a quilt and a scrapbook for my daughter's graduation gift. (which is in three weeks = ain't gonna happen).  I have braces that I wear on my hands at night and I take medication and apply ice daily. I have had this problem off and on for about three years.  It suddenly flared up and got out of control over the last two months.   I am SO hoping that the doctor can do something to relieve the pain through surgery or therapy.  I miss my crafting and my blogging world.  In the meantime; I will still be visiting your sites and enjoying the wonderful things you are making.  Say a prayer that I will get relief and be able to return to what I truly enjoy  very soon!  Thanks!
