Insteresting 2019 So Far

Just like 2018, 2019 has started with a windstorm of health related appointments. My carpal tunnel in both wrists were acting up severely. Because of me walking with a rollator* I couldn't get both wrists done at the same time. So we went with just the right one,  as that was the more excruciating one for me.

I went in on the 7th about treatment options and before I left I was scheduled for surgery on the 9th. I was unable to find a ride so it ended up being a fully awake (no sedation) surgery with local Lidocaine. I actually found the whole experience kind of fun.

Since I have issues with anxiety still at times I asked if they could put music on just as a preventative measure and they did. Whenever we can do my left wrist I fully intend on just having the local numbing and no sedation again. I know I'm a weirdo; for 1-2 seconds I actually almost giggled because it tickled a little bit.

January of 2018 believe I ended up with 20 health related appointments/visits. This year it looks like it will be just under it at 17 appointments/visit, depending if I get into my chiropractor before the end of the month or not. However the 1 appointment was surgery. My surgery (brain) wasn't until March 28th in 2018.

So while I'm not expecting to find a way for my brain to start communicating with my body the way it ought to again, I am hopeful that my huge medical team will find a way this year to improve my quality of life.
