Hi all.

Not a lot to report this week. I'm still sick, so I haven't been able to write any. I am recovering from the cold, and I certainly feel much better than I did last week, but there are still lingering symptoms. This means I can't write and can't get the blood work done. :P

Next doc appointment is on Friday.

Finally got some good medical news. My doc says that I'm cleared to use my iPad and swipe to write as long as it isn't hurting me, and thinks it may be a good option since it's a very different biomechanical motion. My hands and body type may just be more suited to it, and may allow my hands to heal one day in the far future.

So, mostly bad news, but with some silver linings.

Doc is skeptical about my theory, but he also didn't reject it outright. In fact, he said that those two joints are the ones most likely to collect fluid, and if I injured my tendon the fluid from that could shunt right into those joints. Still, he sounded rather skeptical/incredulous about that happening, even if it's possible. His reaction was "What were you doing that would cause hat kind of damage?"

So, I talked to the doctor. He says the effusions are too small to aspirate. They aren't likely the cause of the pain. It's most likely a repetitive strain, one so severe it isn't going to go away anytime soon. In fact, at this point it may be permanent.

Tonight, I sleep in my own bed for the first time in about a week. Then, tomorrow, I fly out to the US for about a week to attend my grandfather's memorial.

When I get back, it's go time on writing, and I have a tiny light of hope.

Voice still isn't doable on its own. It may be a long time before it is. But while travelling, I discovered an option that could, potentially, augment it.

Hey all.

So, I got to ride in an ambulance today, as a patient.
