On thing that has been depressing me is my left hand. I knew something was wrong with it a couple of weeks after the surgery. I kept putting ice on it, but it's still swelling some and I can't bend my wrist like I should. Yesterday, I went to Houston for a followup checkup, and I do have swelling in the wrist joint. They called it edema. I have to take steroids for a week and get some physical therapy. Now that I know what's wrong, and we have a plan of action, I do feel better.

Also, hubby went with me yesterday, so we got to spend some time together and did a lot of talking. I do feel some better now. I had blood work an ekg and such at the end of May and checked out healthy, so I know it's just stress from a lot of things. Just trying to get things done and get through this. I just feel like there's never any time to just chill.

I'm trying to get everyone to go tubing on the river the first weekend in August, but I seem to be the only one excited about doing it, and that in itself is depressing. We always have so much fun, and I don't see why everyone else isn't excited at the idea. Oh, well, this too will pass.....

I feel like a big baby. Just have to get over this and move on!!!
