I had thumb surgery on Wednesday on my dominant hand. I am in a cast for three weeks then a splint for a few weeks. Today the pain is off the charts. I can’t do anything to get my mind off of it so I thought this would be a perfect time to post.

There hasn’t been much going on in my world except doctor’s appointments. I went to my Rheumatologist, and we discussed how the infusion I am on for the Rheumatoid Arthritis is wearing off at 6 weeks, not lasting the full 8 weeks it is supposed to. She increased the dosage and wants to see if that takes care of that. If not, we will change the frequency to every 6 weeks. I just know that those last two weeks have been hell. I don’t care which way fixes the issue as long as one of them does.

We survived the brutal snowstorm. We are fortunate enough to have a wood pellet stove we use as our primary heat source. Our furnace was not continually running during the brutally cold temperatures. The heat from wood heat is so much warmer than any other heat source in my opinion. Do you agree?

We also had company during the weekend. Our oldest grandchild stayed with us and helped dig us out. he helped shovel the sidewalks and driveway. He is a good kid, always willing to help.

What did you do this weekend? Did you stay in? Have to work? Craft? Tell me how you survived the winter storm.
