Life Updates.....

This post was started a few days ago, so figured it better finish it.... when I say started it had bullet points about what I wanted to talk about :). 

Went to my surgeon/specialist last Tuesday, and he has given me the all clear to start nails, gym etc.... I had been doing the odd set of nails the last couple of weeks to see how it went, so I could tell him how it was going. I will still continue hand therapy, and now it is just a matter of strengthening the hand and try and get more movement in the wrist and fingers. It feels weird that I should no longer have any more pain, once I have more strength etc... be the first time in 8 years wow. 

So I am officially opening up the books again from tomorrow, I am also now a member of the 'PNTA' (Professional Nail Technicians Association), if you are a nail tech in NZ, check them out. I am kinda excited, but nervous, it has been 12 months since I had the initial rupture, and have not taken on any new clients since then.

I dont need to go back and see him, unless something happens, but he is pretty sure nothing will.... now I will focus on getting off the pain meds, as I shouldn't need them, we managed to keep all the nerve pain at bay so another positive - this will take some time, but hopefully by mid year 2020 I should be pain med free.

The gym, I am going to start back tomorrow all going to plan, I placed my membership on hold and now have paid up to till April 26th 2020, I have asked for a physio to set me up a programme, but in the meantime while that gets approved (hopefully) from ACC, I will go and do some treadmill and maybe some lighter weights.

4 days later from when I started this actual post (not the bullet points) - whoops. So am going to post this now before another day happens.... have not been to the gym yet, will be starting tomorrow. 

Anyway talk soon :)
