So, over Christmas break I had an EMG done. Considering I became a human pin cushion and had electric currents zapping through my arms, it wasn't that bad. The Dr. was really fast and there was only a little blood. Ha.
The results: I have mild carpal tunnel symptoms in my right hand and moderate in my left. Bummer. I'm supposed to have surgery. But how? Here are some things I won't be able to do (keep in mind that the list will grow when they do my right hand since I'm right-handed:
- dress myself (hmmmm ... that right there is reason enough)
- pick up my son (I won't have to change diapers though. that's a plus!)
- drive (another tough one)
- cut my own food
- showering could be a challenge
- write
- type (well, I could type 1 handed but that will take centuries ... at least!)
- put my hair in a pony tail
That's just the list that immediately came to mind. I'm sure there are a quadzillion more things that I won't be able to do. What else won't I be able to do??? You can list them under comments. :)
But I will be able to:
- play cars w/ Kevin
- watch movies
- sing
- pray
- sleep (providing that I have really good drugs so I can sleep. hehehe.)
- read
- eat
- brush my hair
- talk on my cell
- do my own make up
