Bit of a forced break

[K9soul]

I wanted to write a note here so I didn't seem to have faded off without a word. I've already been a bit scarce posting partly due to being extremely busy with work and family goings on. The past week I've started having trouble with my left shoulder/arm/wrist again. I had some problems about a year ago and went to physical therapy for it, and it eventually faded off. My shoulder/arm started aching again, especially when I sit at the computer and type, and has gotten to the point where I have jolts of pins and needles and numbness in my shoulder/elbow/wrist and hand. I'm not even sure at this point if or how I will manage work, which is a typing job (transcription).

I'll be keeping my typing/computer time to a minimum as I work on doing the things I did before to improve it. It just worries me because it seems worse this time, I had the same sort of pain before but this time I'm having much more numbness and tingling with it.

Anyway, I'll be checking in, but probably not responding/saying much until I'm feeling a bit better. I just want to do whatever it takes to get this better so that my work, and thus my income, isn't affected.

Aw, Jess, I'm sorry you're in such pain. I've missed seeing your posts around here. I hope you feel better soon. Daisy misses seeing her Tommy boy (as do I).

Take care. Check in when you can. {hugs}

I'm so sorry to hear that you're having such pain. I know we're good medication, too. So, even though you can't respond, come here and look once in a while and maybe that will make you feel a little better. If you're not doing the Christmas cards, please pm me your name/address because I want to send you one, ok? Hug those beautiful dogs and feel better soon!

[Holly's mom]

I'm so sorry to hear about this. I will certainly miss your posts, I always love hearing about your precious pups and seeing pictures of them. I hope you are better soon, not only so you can post on here often, but also that your job won't be affected. (((Hugs)))

Have you been to the doc? Is it carpal tunnel syndrome or nerve damage? there might be wrist-braces you could get if it's carpal tunnels ...

[dukedogsmom]

Here's a pic to cheer you up. Here is Doogie, Duke's new best friend. I took this a couple of nights ago. He has made us all very happy. I love the way Duke's eyes are looking to the side at Doogie.

Sounds like carpel tunnel or ulnar?
I hope you are feeling better soon.
Hopefully the therapy will help again.
