Cortisone Shots....Pain-Free Wrist Does Not Ensue

Today I finally gave in and went to the doctor about my very sore wrist. I had no idea what was wrong with it other than the fact that it's been hurting for about 3 months. Apparently, when women are pregnant they can develop a type of tendinitis that can last for about a month after the baby is born then it's just magically gone. For some reason, mine is not gone. So my doctor decided to give me a cortisone shot...in my wrist. Let me just give you an idea of where this shot went.

On your right hand...look at your thumb. Touch it. Move to the base of the thumb just above the wrist. If you move your finger down just a bit you'll feet a bone that sticks out very slightly. That's a joint in your wrist. That's where I received not one...but TWO injections today. It took everything I had no to kick my doctor. That HURT! And it STILL hurts! I know it'll get better but wow, I just wasn't expecting to go in there hurting and come out hurting worse. I also have to wear a brace for at least 2 weeks in hopes that my body will help heal the wrist. I'm to the point that I can hardly pick Will up and that's not good. *SIGH* So it's been an interesting day...

On the bright side, I didn't have to do the dishes because I can hardly lift a dinner plate! And we are finally on the countdown for OKC! We're leaving on Thursday morning and I cannot wait to see my Grannie!!! So excited!

I hope everybody has a great week. Looks like we're blessed with a beautiful week here in Texas...let's hope it's the same in OK. There's always a tornado when I go to OK.....hmm...
