TWO black and blue thumbs up!!!

I posted last week about going to the orthopedic doctor last Friday. I had my wrists AND thumbs injected with lidocaine. I'm sore and black and blue. But my hands are much better. I'm not even wearing my plastic thumb casts today.

With my other problems I've pretty much decided NO surgery for arthritis OR carpal tunnel at this time.
