ENHANCED BOREDOM

We all get bored at some point. But usually it isn't hard to change that. I'm usually like that too. However, the current situation isn't allowing a break from the boredom. The inability to fully use my hand is limiting what I can do period let alone occupy my brain with hobbies and interests. And am slowly having similar symptoms in the other hand. Which is either an extension of what's happening or is due to the new overuse because it's been picking up the slack. Even typing this on my phone is aggravating something. But, literally nothing else to do.

Video games, drawing, or even writing my own name is near impossible. Video games are slightly possible based on which game. Ironically, if this is MS, video games are actually part of the rehabilitation process to regain hand dexterity. I actually find humor in that. "Why are you playing video games? You're 35 years old." To which I simply reply, "Because the doctor said so!".
This leaves me with movies and television. Movies are hard as once I've seen a movie I tend to do things like write or draw when I watch again. Ok not tend to, it's what I do. And with television, season is ending for the shows I can bare to watch. Which is really limited to nerdish things. Mainly wrestling. Which is a future entry in itself as things are horrible right now on many levels and fronts. Organization and direction. But again, for a future entry.
I am itching to restart the workout regimen or even begin a rehabilitation program but can't really do either until at least knowing what is up. Which could be a number of things. Singular or possibly a couple of issues happening at once.

I have zero idea in how to pay for the schooling, but a positive from all of this is that physical therapist is appealing to me. It would almost be like combining the nerd and athlete within. I'm a libra so I love (and hate) things that balance. Stay Nerdy!

PROPS TO THE DOCS

Not as people, those props depend on the person. But props for ability to learn and use that knowledge. As it is endless and ever evolving.

Take my current situation. All of my symptoms lead to it being......a long list of possibilities. Even with my being able to pick which best describes what I'm experiencing, the list is lengthy. And it comes down to the MRI to help even just locating where the problem is. Then add that my lifestyle and habits both help and hinder the diagnosis. As they all lead to a variety of problems that all share symptoms yet different areas.
And that adds to the props as it has been quite fascinating finding out that a brain or spine issue shares same issues as a problem in the shoulder or wrist. Yep, something like MS (multiple sclerosis) shares a lot of similar symptoms with things like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Frustration has been ample the last few months. None of that really lays with the doctors. That's falls mainly on my country. But even then it's the wait time I'm enduring. There may be more MRI machines in Pittsburgh than all of Canada, but I get tested for free. Annnd the wait time frustration is being in the unknown and not knowing what to do. Can I rehab something while I wait? Is this a total rest issue? Should I be active but not anything with a certain area? Or is it something where it simply doesn't matter?

The good news is that it's been two months and only a month to go for the MRI. But, if something that requires a neurologist, I'm left waiting until November. Again, free but about four more months to go. Guess all I can do is....stay Nerdy!

NOT DEAD YET

It's been awhile since I have posted anything. Not deceased, just in the middle of yet another war with life. New problems brought new adjustments, and we're kind if in unknown territory health wise.

Nothing to be scared of really. After already three months, I am down to the final month. Final month? Been waiting on a MRI to tell us what dafuq is going on with me. All the symptoms I have been experiencing doesn't necessarily narrow things down as many things share exact same symptoms. All I can say us that it is something to do with my spine or brain. My uneducated guess us a cervical herniated disc (neck) or worse case scenario, MS (multiple sclerosis). Which scares me as there's no cure, but, I can possibly live with it. Obviously hoping for the cervical herniated disc as it is fixable. My posture, injuries, lifestyle, and habits all lean towards that, but until the MRI we won't know for sure.
So, once I get things sorted out there shall be a return. One handed, dizziness, and a general justified lack of focus are the obstacles. But, I've been doing more planning on my sleeves, and as always have an opinion on many nerdesque things. Seeing "Wonder Woman" this weekend so I will of course have an opinion on it. Oldest daughter is starting HS next year and has expanded her nerdy tastes, and my youngest has fully embraced her name (Harleigh Quinn) n all that comes with it.

So, don't know when but until we meet again. Stay Nerdy!
