Sorry for not getting on here. Thanks Annette and to everyone else. The contest was great.
Went back to the doctor for the followup. He told me I had the worse tear he's ever seen. He took the splint off and the stitches out. Why does that always hurt worse than getting them in? Okay, he moved some bones and I about wet myself. Now I'm in a plaster cast for 2 weeks at least. I have a big purple club...hubby better watch out. While I was there, I told him I filed a claim on the left hand. He wants me to go through a nerve ending test. Mercy! My high tolerance of pain is at the breaking point. He thinks I have carpal tunnel in it. I told him no but the more I think about it, when I go back up there, I'm going through with it. I want to know if that's what's happening to the left hand since I've been babying the right for the last 6 months.
I now only claim to be 40 years old. Why? Because I was indestructable. Once I hit the next birthday, that I'm not claiming, my poor old body started to fall apart. So if I'm asked from here on out, I'm 40 and holding...LOL.
