It's been a long time since I updated.
I wish I had interesting pics and info to share.
Alas, an elbow injury from years back has come to haunt me, with a vengeance. I've been aggravating the issues for a while, and it's had enough it seems.
I stupidly thought it'd heal up on it's own if I was nice to it.
Just when all the ducks were lining up too
X-Ray and Ultra sounds show (in brief):
- At least two intraarticular loose bodies measuring 10x11mm and 8x11mm in the joint area.
- Moderate tendinopatic change involving the common flexor and extensor origins as well as biceps and triceps insertions.
Doc says it's amazing I can even work with it at all.
Wellll, most blokes I know just deal with it, adapt and think stuff like this goes away.
It's getting worse in my case.
So, in short, not spending dough on toys at the moment.
Just going to see where this elbow goes.
Seeing another specialist soon. Surgery imminent. Can't carpentry well with my right arm out.
Need to preserve funds, for sure, but really also need to preserve the elbow itself, so dropping down to least amout of movement until it's fixed. No lifting parts, assemblies, definitely no fabricating and crazy arm positioning and working on cars.
It's annoying sitting on the couch, getting heaps of energy and excitement build up over various projects...and then...remember I can't do anything at all with this.
Even using the mouse to put this post up is giving grief.
Damn
