So…I’ve been dealing with a crazy, swollen hand this week. It happened a couple weeks ago, but it went away quicker than it is now. It’s been like this since last Saturday. The urgent care doctor thinks it’s tendinitis, which I’m hoping is true since I’m afraid of lymphedema. Although it does seem odd that my left hand, which doesn’t do much but hang around since I’m right-handed, would have “tennis elbow.” But I do think it’s a tendon issue, maybe from getting pinched while I’m sleeping. I’m REALLY hoping my surgery fixes all these random, weird issues. One month and counting!

I’m thankful that tonight the swelling is down a bit. And that tomorrow is a half day in a short week that still feels long. That my mother-in-law, who wasn’t feeling well, is better. And that my mom will be visiting us this weekend.
