Jean, Beth, venting from Gwynne

[Guest guest]

Jean,

It's great that you are more mobile with your chair.

It can really be liberating when you can get out of

the house more! It's so good for you emotionally

not to stay holed up at home. Way to go. Good

luck at the pulmodude's... this too shall pass.

Madam Moderator,

I'm glad that at least the doc got to see first-hand

what is going on with your weird rash. I'm also

glad you're not putting any emphasis on it until

after Christmas (unless something urgent comes

up, of course). As always, you have such a terrific,

inspiring attitude, which I really admire!

My right arm is really hurting these days - shoulder

(impingement from a past break), elbow (tendonitis),

etc. Today I started p.t. for all of it - ouch. It's just

another medical thing to add to my already crowded

calendar, so hopefully it'll help. My tx incision is

really achy and sore the past few days as well - maybe

it's the colder weather. Dunno. But it reminds me that

being in pain makes breathing harder - even after

tx it's a bit more taxing to breathe.

Hugs and blessings,

Sorry to hear of your pain. I think sometimes those extra pains that hit

or peripheral issues are what make things worst. We adjust somewhat to

our regular issues and then piling another on is really tough.

found the wrist brace her orthopedist prescribed helped her elbow

tendonitis greatly. Seems we pull that tendon each time we bend our

wrist.
