Well, the doctor doesn't think I have tendonitis; he thinks it might be a ganglion cyst. They're going to schedule an MRI sometime this week.
Depending on what that shows, I might still make an appointment with a rheumatologist.
Omg, I am so tired right now. All this weekend I've been achy and tired. Blah. I almost want to call my mom and have her bring me some Mountain Dew (I'm out of change), but then I'd never get to sleep.

Health Trek
And so my health trek begins...
I have an appointment on Monday with a hand/wrist guy about my tendonitis. But now my shoulder is bothering me again, and I was debating whether I should just cancel that appointment and go to a rheumatologist. Maybe the hand/wrist guy will recommend I go to one.

I must be getting old...
Or it's my pillows. Or mattress. Or both.
I wake up in pain every day. My neck, shoulders, and wrists/hands. My tendonitis has really been bothering me; there's a nice pillow of swelling over my hand. I can feel it jiggle when I move. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I can't NOT use my hand. It's my right hand! But I'm losing more and more movement in it. I tried to draw digitally tonight and I just can't do it anymore. I used to sit and work on web page layouts for hours at a time, using the mouse to select intricate things, pixel by pixel. Not only can I not physically do it with my hand, it's really hard for me to see, too.
Holy crap, I'm not even 28 and a half.....am I having my mid-mid-life crisis?

Rejection letter #3
This time the publisher wasn't accepting new material...or so they say. I've been trying to work on new book ideas, but working all this overtime has me drained. It also doesn't help my tendonitis; I come home in pain every night. Typing and writing and the way my desk is set up...not good.

Tendonitis
My tendonitis has really been bothering me lately. I've really lost range of motion with my right hand. My shoulders have been bothering me, too; both of them, not just my right. What is going on?
I would be on WoW playing my new DK I made, but I want to give my hands a break. I feel like I'm typing through sludge or really heavy gloves.
Again, seeing pictures of me, I'm surprised at how big I am. In my head, I see myself WAY differently. I think that's partly why I can't lose weight: it hasn't sunk in that I'm technically "obese" yet.
OMG, I can't do this. My hands are too slow.

Hit a wall
Well, I hit a wall in the whole "getting published" thing. I'm working on a query and a "marketing" essay question answer. I just can't concentrate and work on it. Why? Because I'm trying to get my Shadow Priest to level 85 in Wow, of course!
I was thinking; I don't think I realize how fat I am. It's like it sneaked up on me. We were talking to someone today who said she'd lost 50 pounds and was now just under 200 lbs. That puts her a dozen or so pounds heavier than I, but if I look like she does, someone needs to put me out of my misery. I don't think I look THAT fat...or do I? Maybe I just don't realize how big I am. In my mind, I'm still the 150 lbs I was when I worked at NAC (and thought I was fat then). And it's not just the way I look that bothers me. I really feel like I can't do anything. Going up stairs is really hard. At my cousin's house on the Fourth of July, I was trying to climb up onto the trampoline and my legs just wouldn't move. I was willing my left leg to go up onto the springs, but it wouldn't. I felt like a 'tard, mainly because my sister and her boyfriend had successfully made it into the trampoline with no problems.
Now with my tendonitis in my hand and shoulder, it makes me extra retarded trying to do stuff. I noticed the other day when I was washing dishes that my hands get tired really easily and my right hand (the one with tendonitis) can't hold anything right. I guess I am getting old, but I find it hard to believe that my chronic tendonitis, muscle weakness, eczema, weight gain, and all my hormonal problems aren't associated some how.
Oh, someday I'll have health insurance and find a doctor who will try to figure out what's wrong with me. My health insurance from Home Nursing should kick in around September. Thankfully, I think on August 1 our vision insurance will be active. Chris really needs to get his eyes checked and get new glasses. I wouldn't mind having some new glasses as well.
I always find cute frames, ok? I try them on, they look cute. But my eyes are so bad, that the lenses make my eyes look tiny and suddenly, I'm not so cute anymore. Blah.
