Guest guest Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Than you . I appreciate it very much. My arm is feeling a lot better today. I think I just really overdid it. I'm bipolar, and when mania hits, I'm doing 3 things at a time at breakneck speed, pain or no pain, stiff or not stiff. I really have to learn to pace myself better when I'm manic. Thanks you for your prayers. I can always use them! Hugs, Dix [ ] Re: Back from ER Hi Dixie, I am so sorry to hear that you are in so much pain. Stay strong and have faith that tomorrow will be a better day, the brace will help with the swelling. I know that it might be uncomfortable but it will help. I will pray for you and yours, it will be better. Soft hugs ~~ > Just got back from the ER. Was concerned I broke my arm. It's very swollen and hurts a lot. Good news is it's not broken. > Bad news is it's severe tendonitis. Have to wear a brace on my hand and arm for at least a week, then Dr. will decide if I can take it off or if it stays on longer. > Can't use my left arm or hand. Typing is very difficult. > Will be writing much less this week, but will read messages. > Dix > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Thanks Judi. It could take up to 6 weeks to heal. And now my ankle is just as bad. I'm questioning the diagnosis. I think it just may be a very bad IA attack. My Dr. is on vacation, but I'm going to see him when he gets back. Dix [ ] Re: Back from ER Dear Dix, Well heck, you sure didn't this! Speaking from experience, please don't try to do things in spite of the brace--it just makes the healing process longer. I'll keep you in my prayers, Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Thanks Tawny. Now my ankle looks even worse than my arm! Even with an elastic ankle brace on, it looks like there is a donut around my ankle! lolol Back to the Dr. tomorrow. I think I'm just having localized flares. Dix [ ] Re: Back from ER ((((((Dix))))))Sorry about your arm, that is good news it's not broke. You just take it easy, and follow doctors orders. I will keep you in my prayers, Tawny > Just got back from the ER. Was concerned I broke my arm. It's very swollen and hurts a lot. Good news is it's not broken. > Bad news is it's severe tendonitis.
