Changes....

Been to the hand therapist on Tuesday and she feels waiting to June for the specialist appointment and then the surgery after that, is too risky on the other tendons. So I have put my 100% faith in her and she has recommended some surgeons in Hamilton that will be able to see me quicker, so am just waiting to hear, we hope to have an appointment in March and hopefully surgery in April. 

In the meantime, she has made me this little splint, to try and stop the tendons getting even worse.....

They will be removing the plate and screws in my wrist, and then she thinks they will use the second tendon that we have in the index finger and move that to the middle finger that is ruptured and then they will have to somehow tidy or remove the tendon that is ruptured (I think) lol. There will be 4 - 5 lots of cuts/stitches - they will reopen the scar that I already have for the removal, and then a cut on the index and middle finger, and then on the hand, where one end of the tendon is and then on the arm, where the other tendon is. There is a risk with the removal of the hardware, like the CRPS coming back, more nerve damage, especially as it has been in there nearly 8 years, but have no option but to get it removed.

At the moment the pain is getting worse, so will be glad to get it done. She did say I could go to the gym and do the bike and treadmill and possibly the elliptical and lower body, providing it doesn't involve any use of the left hand, changing weights etc. 

Last week we purchased an air-fryer, got this one.... It is the Phillips XXL air-fryer. We got it from TVSN as they had the cheapest and also got the baking kit free. 

So far everything we have cooked as turned out good. 

Oh wow just looked out the ranch slider and it is raining, well drizzling - we really need this weather. Oh forget that, its stopped already.

Anyway thats it for now, catch you all later :)
