HAND UPDATE!!!

Wow what a difference just one more day made.  Some of the swelling has started decreasing, he states the capillary refill has made significant come back.  They were able to palpate the pulses without using Doppler machine which is exciting. I still remain to not have much feeling but starting to notice the pinky and finger next to it does have some feeling and looks better on discoloration. I am getting some tingling sensations in random places where they touch so they are thinking they are trying to wake up!  Yay!  Had to show my therapy exercise which consisted of waving to the Dr., thumbs up, showed my fist as we are working on making the fist.  The Doctor said he wasn't quite afraid of my fist formation. Started me on gabapentin for nerve pain, God please let that pill work.  So goal is keep working on range of motion and seen what tomorrow holds. Thank you to each and every one for being here with me holding my hand and all the love and support you have shown me. My heart is so overwhelmed with all the love, care and compassion you have given me, Well Terrie you succeeded my friend as I never felt alone in the whole week I have been here. My EXer family is awesome and thankful to be part of this great family.

Tingling.  Good.  Awakening nerves.  Gabapentin - wonderful drug.  Flex those fingers, move them joints, get that blood flowing.  Aren't you glad you don't smoke?  That would curtail the whole process a whole lot.  Who needs a doppler machine, just stick your finger in a light socket.  That'll get the pulse going!  (Kidding, obviously.  We must never forget our sensese of humor!)  You're a brave strong sassy lassie you are.  More power to ya!

Hi! My name is Sharon and I am married, a mom to 5 kids and also have 2 fur babies that are both shelties and considered my kids. I have smoked for about 30 years. I came here to learn how to quit and stay quit. I need to quit to impove my health and was tired of nicotine controlling me and Doctors and family nagging me. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. Now that I have joined in the EX family I now have been free of nicotine since May 13th 2016.
