Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 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 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 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...
