pain, no flowers
Well, what a festive couple of days. Sunday started auspicously enough, with a surf session gone bad (see previous post). Then rehearsal with a guitarist audition that was ok, but not a right fit. Then after rehearsal a slight pain at the base of my thumb. Then not so slight. Then excrutiating if I moved my thumb the wrong way. By Sunday night I was unable to brush my teeth using my left hand (and I''m left handed). Monday it remained bad, and I was unable to get ahold of my doctor (that is a whole other story). Tuesday morning it was still bad, and I managed to get an appointment to see an orthopedic guy. As luck would have it the pain subsided, but the diagnosis based on the xrays is in: arthritis. Gee, that''s just dandy. More later..
