This time of year things get so busy half the time I never hear a single word being said to me. It isn’t because I’m intentionally ignoring anyone. It’s just because I have so much going on and my mind is racing so much there too much in my brain to comprehend the information being given to me. That being said, I heard loud and clear what was said to me yesterday, and it was not at all what I expected I’d hear.
We have been moving for the last week. Not far. In fact, right across the parking lot. We had been living in a 2 bedroom townhouse and have moved into a 3 bedroom. Mostly, through last week, we moved smaller stuff over; boxes, clothes, tv’s, etc. This last weekend, we moved the big stuff. After that move, I’d been having some pain and numbness in my right shoulder/arm. I thought for sure I’d pinched a nerve. So, I made an appointment to see a chiropractor yesterday morning. As it turns out, a pinched nerve is not what I have. He’s 99% sure I have Carpal Tunnel.
Talk about a shock to the system. I had no idea that was coming. My mom was Dx with that and actually had surgery in Dec of 2002 (though I didn’t know she had the surgery). She wasn’t at all surprised to hear that that’s what is wrong with me. At least it’s manageable. It’s likely I caught it early enough so as not to have to have the surgery, but I guess only time will tell for that.
