I have a new health problem!!
Not another health problem?!?!?
As you all know today I ventured to my Rheumatologist's, or as those with RA refer to them -- Rhumy's office today for an exam. I have now been diagnosed with.....LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS!!! What is Lateral Epicondylitis you ask? It's just a fancy way to say I have Tennis Elbow. LOL If it keeps bugging me then I will have to go have a check up with the Orthopedic Surgeon. >_<;; I have been ordered to rest my arm, wear a brace and put this topical pain ointment on my elbow 3 times a day. Ointment...isn't that just a funny word. Say it with me...ointment. That's right, ointment.
Anywho, I am supposed to stop doing whatever repetitive motion that may have caused this condition. As you all know, all I do is work on the computer. So I shouldn't spend so much time typing. I promised I would cut down on my time on the computer. ::crosses fingers:: I think knowing that I wouldn't follow orders my doctor told me if I don't the pain could last a few years! Eegah! Hopefully it will go away in just a little bit. I don't want to be slathering OINTMENT on my elbow for years! Eewwww! With my luck I will end up like my mom, who also has RA and was diagnosed with Tennis Elbow. She had to get her elbows replaced. Bah. I could end up being the "Bionic Panda"! Woot!
So today instead of my typical bishie break I am going to have something the guys will enjoy. Well, at least I know of one guy ::looks at John:: who will enjoy this.
Yeah, have fun watching Winry shake her bootay. It is a bit mesmerizing though isn't it? Now quit watching it!!
I think you guys need a question for the day! It's been a while since I've done one of these. Have you ever been told to do something by your doctor but went against their orders and didn't follow their directions? For instance, not take all your antibiotics? Run around when you were supposed to be resting? Stuff like that?
As you can clearly see I am still typing. I just need to post this quick "little" message then I am done typing. That and put the finishing touches on my interview which should be posted on the site any minute...then I'll be done typing. Oh and make a quick run through the OB...after that I will stop typing. Oh and answering emails....for sure then! :P
Ok, so this is a case that I am going to have a very hard time following doctor's orders. My dad is diabetic and he love chocolate ice cream. If he thinks he can get away with it, he will try. Bad, very bad. Now how about you? What have you done against doctor's orders?
I better stop typing! Take it easy you guys and hope you are having a great weekend. Love you all very much and I'll be seeing you around the site! (Just don't tell my Doctor! shhhh!)
Edit: Go read my Interview with Dan Woren. You know you want to, it has some sound clips too! Come on, leave me some positive feedback, I got tennis elbow from all that writing!! ^_^ |
