Hi, Molly!

I think I had posted that the nerve conduction test showed that the primary cause of my problem with my hand turned out to be in my neck ... after surgery and physical therapy for the hand.  Grrr.

Tomorrow I go for an MRI (closed) of my neck to find out just what is going on there.  I see my hand surgeon for the results next week and then see a neurosurgeon to discuss options.  NOT surgery, as far as I am concerned! 

Hugs to you,

The MRI went fine.  I tried to get an appt with the neurosurgeon that my hand surgeon recommended.  They tell me he is scheduling in February!  However, he will get the report and see if he wants to see me sooner.  I told her a bit of the backstory so hopefully that will encourage him to bring me in sooner.  I'm kind of surprised my surgeon left it up to me to set up my appt.  Usually they arrange the appt and call me.  Oh, well.  We'll see what happens.
