Who Would You Do? Version 47

Hey everyone!

I am sitting here on hold for what seems like forever trying to schedule an appointment with a neurosurgeon for the pain in my wrist and I thought I would use the time to make a Wednesday Who Would You Do post. The first person I spoke to at scheduling said the FIRST available appointment what SEPTEMBER 22!!!! WTF?!? I can NOT be in this much pain for THAT long! I am waiting to see if there is another doctor and/or another location that could get me in sooner!

Does my wrist hurt? Yes! But it would hurt no matter what I was doing so why not put up a post, right?! It’s called “multi-tasking” apparently… lol.🤣

Anyway, I also thought that since I had SOOOOO much time to sit here on hold, I might as well give you all an EXTRA poll too!

So, in the first poll, I am going to pick “Shy Boy 2 – Dante”.

Who Would YOU Do?

The second poll is a tough one for me… I think I am going to limit myself to “Butt Boy 2” but could EASILY go with “All of the Above”!

So, Who Would YOU Do?

In the third and final poll for this week, my choice is going to be “Trophy Boy 1”, but again, I could EASILY go with “All of the Above” as there is something I like about each of them.

So, Who Would YOU Do?

Self Portrait Saturday

Hey everyone!

I’m so sorry for the late in the day post! I have been in major pain with my wrist, and it makes it hard to do stuff. Just opening my water bottle or shampooing or brushing my teeth… you get the idea. I met with the wrist doctor this week and he went over my MRI and said that all the plates and screws are in the right place, nothing is loose and there are no screws poking through the bone. He went over my pain symptoms again and said that it is probably due to a compressed disk in my neck. YEARS ago, I had the C6/C7 vertebrae in my neck fused together with another titanium plate and screws. He said that sometimes the disks around it start to degenerate and will compress on nerves that run to my hand. I get that… That is why I had the neck surgery all those years ago, because my left hand was numb. But, while I do agree that there probably is some nerve compression in my neck causing SOME of the pain in my wrist, I don’t think it is the ONLY thing causing the pain.

Anyway, he said that basically he could not really do anything to help as he did not see anything that warranted surgery, and I have maxed out on the number of cortisone injections that I can have. He suggested that I see a neurologist. YAY! Another doctor! I am currently in the process of trying to find one near me. He said he did not know anyone to refer me to, which I just feel is odd. He is an orthopedic surgeon – he works with bones all day. He does not know ANY neurologists??? Apparently not.

SO, I apologize if some days the posts are late or missed. I am at the mercy of my wrist at the moment.

ANYWHO… I hope your weekend is going well! Here are the selfies for this week!

Enjoy!
