Day 10

I’ve fallen off the wagon (today is really Day 13 of the 14-day challenge), but I do have a doctor’s note… After weeks of red, swollen, painful joints and limited mobility in my one ‘good’ useable hand, after an x-ray on Tuesday, after a visit to my GP yesterday, I have a diagnosis. The good news is it’s NOT rheumatoid-arthritis, yay! It is inflammatory osteoarthritis and this ‘flare up’ could last 2 to 3 months… and only if I limit its use as much as possible (not easy when my right arm is totally paralysed), so no more typing, scrolling, computer work for me, or any ‘unnecessary’ tasks So, yet another enforced blog break… And if you see me wandering around with unbrushed hair and unbuttoned clothes, you’ll know why.
