ENMG-results

Saturday morning, peaceful and quiet. No wait, that has to be somewhere else rather than here... But I don't mind att all, they keep up with positive noise and are not fighting and bickering about everything.

On Friday I had my ENMG-examination of my hands. As my physician said on the phone, sounds like something is crushing the nerves and so it is. On the right the condition is worse and has to operated on as soon as possible. Fortunately or unfortunately on the left only a minor change was to be noticed, and therefor it is necessary to use a support at nights to keep it straight and to monitor the situation for the time being.

The operation in itself is no big thing, quite rutine. But recovering is another issue. For three-four days you may not use your hand at all. And that means AT ALL. No writing, no lifting, no bending. If I could walk, this wouldn't be a problem, but since I need my crutches or my walking aid, it becomes a problem. We talked about it for quite some time, but didn't come to a conclusion how to proceed. On the other side of the scale are my feet - there are no guarantees they ever will get better and that I could manage without assisitive devices. And the other side of the scale is tipped by my hands - they should be operated. Maybe next week I'll know.

It was sooooo close that a few friends would have come for coffee. I had set the table already, the coffee and tea was brewing and a cake was waiting for eaters. When warming up this house, I'd lit the wooden stove as well, so there was warm soup waiting for everyone. A car turned on our road and then pooof... it got stuck!!! My spouse drove behind them and they got the car loose, but there was too much snow in the way and the plowman was busy plowing the other roads. So they had to turn around and drive away :( But, it's the thought that counts.

As you may see, the counter is set on the right side. I got a wonderful email from a Friend, who gave me the link - thank you ever so much.

So, even if it may seem on the darkest moment of the day you should have no light in your life - just pause for a while. The light is bound to come back brighter than ever :)
