This has been an extraordinary busy month for me with doctors. I sat out clinicals this semester to have carpal tunnel surgery done on each hand, but insurance drug and drug it out so I was finally able to have the surgery done on my left hand Tuesday, the doc also did a "trigger release" on my index finger joint where my finger attaches to my hand, arthritis was causing some issues and he was afraid my finger would begin to lock up if the joint wasn't cleaned. Lovely, not two surgeries I would recommend together pain wise, but it does make sense to do them together and be done with it. Unexpectedly the Tuesday before, I had another surgery. I have had PT 2x a week for the past 6 weeks, seen pain management and acquired a tens unit for the residual pain in my neck.
Add to that my granddaughter had eye surgery to correct a muscle in her eye that had weakened, and today my grandson had an emergency appendectomy. Any one of these cases could have dire consequences in a situation where medical help isn't readily available, each on is vastly different, requires very different treatment and would be impossible to do in less than ideal situations and nothing that a person on their own would be able to handle.
