After a long wait I had a nerve conductivity test last Friday, was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in both sides, plus a problematic nerve on my right elbow.
This comes to join the huge number of conditions I deal with everyday, including Heart Failure and mainly my mobility issues, which after a failed hip replacement and 4 operations trying to fix the initial error failed... I put up with excruciating pain 24/7, for which I have very strong pain killers AND my family (though they are "a bit" (like 7000 miles) far away geographically) and my chosen families, including you guys here, who helped me keep fighting.
I know there are quite a lot of you who came in when I wasn't much around, and I was so glad to finally not be in so much pain in my hands and doctors allowed me to use the computer more again.... BUT this diagnose means I may have to restrict the times again, so I am trying to train my iMac to understand my accent -which has a lot of different nuances, as even though I have lived in England for over 30 years and used to be a simultaneous interpreter for the UK government, including the courts of law.... I am a Latina through and through and the computer understands something that is hilarious if you read the comment before I correct the text....
So, I am trying my best
Hope you know I am here and delighted to be around even if my commenting in your pages may not be what you are used to from me, at least until I have an answer from the doctors about what next step will be.
I am not a candidate for surgery right now, because of many of the health issues I have, so I am trying very very hard not to think about the fact that I may have to not be at the computer at all...so, please, prayers, good thoughts and energy towards a more positive course of action are more than welcome.
I know I am the proof of miracles can happen, (I wasn't meant to walk ever, ended up not just walking but dancing on stage for 30 years in musicals, one of the biggest things I overcame with my parents fight and faith!) so, I keep praying
I may not be able to come here (to this thread) soon, but know I am hugely grateful for all of your general love and support, The Pad's Family has been the most marvellous help in the past 10 years, I know it may sound a bit too much, but love you guys, even the ones of you whom we have never cross a word sin private...your pages bring so much beauty and feeling to my heart, and Sarita (DD) loves you because you all get me off her back
To the ones of you who talk to me daily or weekly on the phone, who have been there for us for years and years, some of you more recently but in the same dimension, THANK YOU with all my heart.
To the ones of you whom I have not have been so great communicating in the past year our so... I hope my dictation thingy gets into a natural rhythm so I can get back to talk to you again, but know I love you the same always
Looking forward to beat the dictation on my Mac so I can be with you more for NSD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
