Finally I will be getting an MRI of my left elbow and forearm a week from Monday. And I am thinking what if it doesn't show anything. I am sure at least some of you have had tests come out negative and you are thinking how could that be negative for anything. On the other hand if something does show up then I have to see another ortho Dr. OMG - the last one treated me horribly. As you can see the hamsters in my head are busy tonight.
Also, about 7:30 tonight I was almost in a car accident . By almost the lady, who by the way was paying no attention to her driving , missed t-boning me by about an inch. Good thing she apparently had good brakes. It is hard to explain but when I realized she was going to hit me I slammed on the brakes so I would take the hit on the front passenger door and not the back seat door where my dog was standing there with her head out the window, So, by me slamming on my brakes I made my dog go flying around in the backseat and when we got home she was limping , the leg she had an ACL surgery on almost 2 years ago. Also, I grabbed the steering wheel so tight and braced to be hit that my arms are more of a mess than they already were and my back too . I was so frazzled when I went into get our take out dinner I whacked my elbow on the door of the restaurant and it took great restraint not to yell out the f word because it hurt so bad. Next time delivery dinner and I should get my dog a seatbelt.
Now back to the ice bags.

Another day, another ouchie?My bruised achilles tendon (don't ask) makes my foot numb. Wonky on meds, whacked it.Now, as to fibro:A lot of reports are going around some parts of social media that fibro (and dang near anything else) are caused by post-Covid, post-flu, post-vaccinations, post-pick-something.1.

Take it easy and listen to your gut.
I hope that you can get some decent rest this weekend. Good news that you are finally going to get an MRI. Lots of ice, rest and healing thoughts coming your way!
Glad that car didn't hit you. Take care.
