TGIF!

I love, love, love having Friday's with no school and no internship! I slept horribly last night because my neck hurt and also my ulnar nerve. I am finally getting in to a specialist next week to see what they can do about the ulnar nerve. I had the nerve transposed in 2005 and it is just getting worse. I am seeing an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in hands and elbows. I am also going to be seeing a neurosurgeon for my neck. Chelsea is still having real problems with ear pain. The ENT doctor thought it was because she is grinding her teeth, but she's been wearing the guard for two weeks now and it only getting worse. She is going back to see him again next week also. Mike has medical issues as well but doesn't want me to make an appointment. None of it is life threatening so I've decided to quit bugging him about it. If he wants to be in pain that's his choice, but I also won't listen to his complaining because he's not willing to get it looked at by a doctor.

The weather was really beautiful today. I hope it continues tomorrow so I can go for a run.

Today we went and picked out the stuff for Chelsea's bathroom. Tomorrow Mike and his friends are going to Lowes to get all the other stuff, like sheetrock, insulation, etc. They will start on the basement on Monday.

Mike leaves for Las Vegas on Monday and returns on Friday. Mom and Dad will leave for Arizona on Monday, so next week will seem pretty quiet.

Sorry to hear about your ulnar nerve problems. Smart move seeing a specialist, as many regular doctors don't know much about cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS).

If you are interested, you might want to visit our website full of information about CuTS and forums where people can share their experiences, ask questions and get answers about CuTS.

Good luck with your doctor appointment. I hope you have a speedy recovery!
