Friday frustration

I’ve become more and more frustrated over the last several days because 1) the swelling in my hand has shown no sign of receding and 2) my two main physicians are on vacation and won’t be returning until the first of next week.

Physician #3 - the plastic surgeon - told me after our follow-up last Thursday that he really didn’t need to see me anymore unless the other two weren’t available.

Well...they’re not! So I called his office yesterday and made an appointment for this morning at 9:00.

He quickly determined that a compression wrap would be good to try.

First I went to the hospital for an ultrasound to make sure there was no blood clot in my arm. All clear! In fact, the nurse cooed about my beautiful veins. Then I was off to rehab for physical therapy and the 3-layer bandage. According to the guy in rehab, I need to wear the wrap mainly while sleeping.
