Sounds like good news, as that kind of news goes. When is his surgery?
Keeping you both in my thoughts.

Don't understand the stage 4 diagnosis, but I am wishing you and Raleigh Don the very best outcome, Mimi. I know this must be scary. Positive thoughts!

Saving for the next one...
I THINK it is better news than if they had said, no surgery. And then it presents yet another scary treatment. But I am still thrilled to hear ths.

Cheers to you and RD.

exactly. they're saying he has bad $hit but that they believe he can beat it. If they didn't believe he could beat it, they wouldn't do the surgery. Meeting with another of the doctors today so we ought to get the full results then.
Poor RD had a stiff neck from the 1 hour procedure what's he going to be like after an 8 hour procedure??? UGH
We have nothing to compare it to, we don't know anyone who had an 8 hour surgery to ask!

Catrin - do you have CMC joint issues? That pain is at the base of your thumb joint as it enters your wrist. Have they only checked you for carpal tunnel? They just need to take an xray to see if it is CMC. The things that will cause you pain the most when you have this is any kind of pinching action.
I've read that it's common for pain originating in the CMC joints to be referred to the MCP joints, and vice versa, too. It's most common in the thumb joint, but I don't see why any of the CMC joints couldn't be arthritic.

Mimi: Always thinking of you and your hubby! Hang in there.
Mimi- more hugs from me and Chuck. I hope the surgery goes well. RD is one tough guy and you two are staying focused where you need to be.

CMC joints? Will look that up and see where those are
Spokewrench, while sometimes I do have pain there, a pinching action doesn't bother me. Really, 99% of it is right in the middle of my palms, just last week it was really bad...but THIS week there isn't a bit of pain at all, for which I am thankful. My fingers are always a bit cranky, but am so used to that I am hardly aware of it... Of course it doesn't mean the pain isn't referred to my palms from elsewhere.
I am considering asking my doctor about it the next time, I need to see him about my dog bite anyway which still isn't quite healed... I just hate to say something and get a bunch of co-pays for tests to only find out that I need to take ibuprofen for it...
Mimi, well wishes for you and Don. May he recover quickly after his surgery and beat the cancer.
Catrin, well wishes to you, too. Hopefully, your doctor can get some answers for you and a treatment that works.
Dear Time Keepers,
Would it be possible for me to have an hour a day to myself that is outside of normal time?
Thanks,

Dear Saddle,
Thank you for hurting right then, because that's why I decided to pull over and adjust your tension. Had I been on the road, rather than on the side, I suspect that SUV with the idiot, driving so erratically, probably going 80 in a 25 mph zone, driving so stupidly fast he almost lost complete control as he passed me, well, you know where I'm going with this. Thanks.
Thanks also for feeling better after I made the adjustment.
