| FINALLY got results on my MRI of both wrists from Jimenez' office. First, I got reprimanded by Sardah (sp?) for leaving so many messages for her. Well, Dang! If she didn't say she'd phone me back later that day (Monday), and I wasn't so anxious about to surge or not to surgury, and having anxiety and fear of even MORE dis-abled, and if everything else in the queue didn't depend on scheduling this etc. etc. ad nauseum, well, then just MAYBE I wouldn't leave so many messages for her which, apparently, you believe I do just to annoy and make your life miserable? ARGH!!!!! And, FWIW, a simple phone call saying that it's taking longer than you anticipated, but you haven't forgotten me, would have gone a long way to keeping me from phoning and presuming I got lost and forgotten yet again! So, I got news. The MRI showed it wasn't the nerves, but ganglion cysts on both wrists, and degenerative osteoarthritis on the left wrist -- but Carpal Tunnel surgery is still indicated to relieve symptoms. So...I dunno. Of course she couldn't answer any questions I had, especially ones about why surgery -- i.e. if it's not a nerve thing. She also asked who MY surgeon was (didn't read my file did she with all that anger at my calling her back), and I informed her that THEY were to recommend one, and set it up. She then looked further in my chart and found the name of the surgeon, and gave ME the phone number to call directly. Er, insurance doesn't work that way! She also said that they prolly will do both wrists at once! which I said I can't do because of my need for some mobility and Mom and stuff...etc. etc. So -- I'm looking up these new Medical verbiage, and finding mixed reviews, and not at all feeling too warm and fuzzy about it because, guess what folx, looks like I have found another one...yessiree, yet another "We don't know what causes it, and for treatment, well, some find this helpful, or this surgery helpful, but no matter what is done, it can come back anyway. Oy! So. I keep on looking. I have an appointment with Dr Jimenez on the 3rd, and hopefully he can explain this to me more cogently, as if speaking to the 5 year old brain I currently have. They would not let me have a phone session with him, so it will be yet another exhausting trip physically, and yes, emotionally. Let's keep on draining the body /mind /psyche until I totally break down, eh? ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE!!!! I just saw my new favorite flick! Yessiree, another Bruce Campbell flim...it is fantastic!!! I can't wait to hear the commentary over it later on. I am so delighted to add this to my DVD library...brilliant! So name the DVD, right? : BUBBA HO-TEP
My brand new favorite flick...!
Rent or but this -- but realize it is a tad different that previous works of his in that although the humor is still there, and action, and chemistry, and adventure and sci-fi, there is a great deal of heart and drama too. Good stuff!
